Course Overview
Our Game Design Diploma Course will cover the principles of game design. During this course, students will actively participate in the development of a game from conception to completion. The course will explore game design using visual representations of game mechanics along with implementing these mechanics in a dedicated game engine.
You will discover how to create interesting games with iconic mechanics. You will learn how to use the Unity game engine, adding, removing, and modifying inbuild components. Develop skills using C# to create unique and interesting interactions within the game world. Students will learn to analyse games to uncover the mechanics that create the player experience and discover interesting ways to develop these mechanics.
This course has been developed to introduce students to the exciting world of game design, developing their skills to create their own games. This course is suitable for anyone interested in experiencing game design and development in a fun and interactive format.
