How On Campus
Launch into a future-proof IT career.
This course will help you to make your game ideas a reality. You will learn programming languages and principles for game development engines and how to design and code systems specifically for video games, including character movement, world interaction, combat systems, AI pathfinding and decision making, and much more.
You’ll also learn the tools for creating in-game assets that add life to your game worlds - 3D models for environments, props, characters and vehicles, 2D digital images for textures, UI and in-game art, audio, rigging, animations and everything your game needs.
On top of that, you’ll learn all the gameplay design principles and frameworks that separate a finished game from a good game. We won’t just teach you how to make your character jump – we’ll teach you why your character jumps!
