Game Design Club:
Make games rather than play them using your own ideas! Become game developers for a day using a physical and virtual platform to create video games in the classroom. When students build games, they become the writers, artists, designers, and developers of their own interactive stories. It all starts with an idea. We provide resources that encourage collaboration while guiding students through a design thinking process. Students create their own 13-bit layouts, characters, and art for their game.
What we will cover:
- Turn your physical creations into digital game elements.
- Edit and customize everything from characters game art work to settings.
- Develop interactions and behaviour between characters.
- Tell rich, dynamic narratives through your games.
- Publish them so others can play them too.
No prior coding experience is necessary.
