Game – Development is a three-year advanced diploma program that aims to develop expert game designers who can create and develop their own titles. The program will prepare you to become technically literate with the ability to advance the conceptual and cultural potential of games.
By concentrating on the practical applications of the game production process from the artistic, managerial and technical sides, the program will introduce you to 2D and 3D design processes and foundations of computer programming. You'll also learn to communicate with teams of artists and programmers to design effectively, prototype and iterate their own fully playable 2D and 3D games, and gain other professional and personal skills for success in the industry. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
