Overview
This unit builds on the foundation provided by the prerequisite unit to further develop your skills and knowledge in game design and development. You will learn about key elements of the game industry, platforms, tools and genres. Through a combination of theory and practice, you will work in small teams to collaboratively develop a game prototype, conduct an effective playtest, evaluate feedback, and revise a game’s design. You will also learn how to communicate game designs to others using appropriate documentation.
