This course allows students to create substantial immersive experiences using techniques such as structured brainstorming, rapid prototyping (fail often, fail early), constructive critiquing, and iteration. Students will create several major works during the course, working in teams, formally presenting their ideas, and working with client constraints. Several technologies will be introduced, such as collaborative project management and tracking tools, code repositories, and presentation software.

The course includes individual as well as group assessments. Students will need to individually capture their game development contributions and report about them on a weekly basis. Students will also need to produce design artefacts that demonstrate their knowledge of game development processes. Finally, students will work in a group to design, produce and present a video game.
This course has no prescribed textbook. Details to other relevant texts will be posted on Learn.
