Module Info

Module Code: COMP07028

Module Co-ordinator: Dr. John N Sutherland (E260) - John.Sutherland@uws.ac.uk

Paisley Campus Lecturer: Derek Stobbs (E260) - Derek.Stobbs@uws.ac.uk

Module Summary

This is a core first year module for the undergraduate degree programmes in Computer Games Technology and in Games Design and Development.

This study will introduce students to the general issues around games development, regardless of platform or programming language. The students will learn about aspects of games production management, games media content, games financing, games software components and games development teams. They will also spend some time discussing contemporary events in the games industry as highlighted in the trade press.

The students will work in a small group, supported by tutorials, developing a design document for a game idea either chosen from a provided list or of their own. This will allow them to understand aspects of studio working and idea development.

On their own the students will develop a small game using a simple game development suite or package. This will allow them to see aspects of programming, game flow and balance.
