TOTAL CREDITS: 7ECTS
Games are among of the most complex forms of software to create, and game development and publishing are complex, collaborative efforts. Along with all the technical challenges of software development, issues of design documentation, content creation, risk analysis, and process management are addressed in this unit. Although there is growing literature on game production, there are also rich traditions in software engineering and project management from which to draw for this unit. Contents include: The Game Development Lifecycle; A Game Development Team; Budgeting, Scheduling and Time Management; Design and Development Documentation and Product Post-mortems. At the end of this unit the student will have acquired the responsibility and autonomy to: — lead a small game studio in the design and development of a video game; — manage the human, time, and money resources needed for a game production; — prepare necessary documentation for a game production. The assessment for this unit will be computed using the following weighting system: — 40% Assessed Coursework — 60% Examinations
