Examination

The examination will consist in the evaluation of the following activities that students are requested to carry out.

  • Writing of a game report with information about games you have played so far (those that have been most important to you let's say or those that you can recall) described based on the characteristics that we will introduce during the lectures (check the slides).
  • Writing of a Game Design Document, reporting your idea and design of a game
  • Demonstration of a tool you practiced with. During the course, students will be asked to select one tool that they find useful for implementing the game they designed. It could be a game engine, it could be an animation tool, a tool that the students would like to independently practice with and show progresses as part of the examination.
  • Performing a Pitch, that means a presentation that has the objective to convince someone to give you fundings for the game you have designed.
