Course image Unit 43: Games Development
BTEC HND Year 2

This unit introduces students to games development. It is designed to simulate the roles and responsibilities of a games developer working in a suitable games development studio with access to a small team of colleagues. Students will discuss and review a number of original game ideas before synthesising them into a single game concept. Once the game concept is defined, students will need to adopt appropriate methods and practices to analyse, break down and discuss the issues, then decide on, design, create and test a functional game. Students should be free to debate, evaluate and select different design and development methodologies depending on their own judgement and consideration.
