Introduction to Game Development

About Course

Course Description:

This Introduction to Game Development course is designed to provide students with a foundational understanding of game development concepts, techniques, and best practices. Through a combination of lectures, hands-on exercises, and game projects, students will learn how to create and publish their own games.

Course Objectives:
By the end of this course, students should be able to:
Understand the game development process and industry.
Design and document game concepts and mechanics.
Develop 2D and 3D games using game engines.
Implement gameplay features and user interfaces.
Debug, optimize, and test game projects.
Publish and distribute games on various platforms.
Collaborate effectively in game development teams.

Course Content

Week 1-2: Introduction to Game Development
Understanding the game development process Overview of the game industry Role of game designers, programmers, and artists Common game development tools and engines

Week 3-4: Game Design Fundamentals
Principles of game design (game mechanics, game balance) Writing a game design document (GDD) Creating game concepts and storyboards Playtesting and iterative design

Week 5-6: Game Development Tools and Environment
Choosing a game engine (e.g., Unity, Unreal Engine) Setting up a development environment Introduction to scripting and coding (e.g., C#, Python) Working with assets (e.g., 2D/3D models, textures)

Week 7-8: 2D Game Development
Developing a 2D game project Game physics and collisions User interface (UI) design Sound and music in games

Week 9-10: 3D Game Development
Transition to 3D game development Creating 3D game environments Character modeling and animation Advanced scripting and gameplay mechanics
