Game designer is a specialist who creates a gaming experience. It depends on him what and how the user will play. Throughout the course, we will create our own small game in the genre of “stealth third-person shooter” - under the guidance of a professional game designer and other specialists. As a diploma, you will need to create your own boss fight. We will not have different boss models for each student - you will have to choose from several ready-made options. But only you will be responsible for the gameplay.
Purpose of the course - teach you how to work on games the way they do it in major studios around the world. In 4 months at the Game Design faculty you will create an advanced prototype of a third-person shooter and master everything skills required by a game designer: from searching for ideas and creating prototypes to setting technical specifications and drawing up documentation.
The school's teachers will tell you about all the intricacies of the game designer profession and explain where to study game design after the course.
The training will take place online; you can always return to lectures and refresh your knowledge of game development.
