Design Document

Game Design document must be printed out and should be simply bound. Expensive folders will not be rewarded with higher marks!

Prototype and Machinima

Game prototype and UT3 matinee machinima must be submitted on CD, DVD or USB memory stick. If submitting on CD or DVD, please submit two copies to minimise the risk of data loss/corruption.
You need to include a printed list of files and instructions for installing your game prototype and for viewing the matinee sequence.

Individual Critical Review/Peer Assessment

This should be no longer than one page (10 to 12 point font). You should include one to two paragraph performance reviews for your own performance and for each of your team-mates.

Peer review of your project team

The peer review of the other members of your team should be honest and objective. Team members who joined the course after week 1 should not be penalised for having done so – all team members should be reviewed on the basis of their input over the time they were a part of the group.
You have 10 points to award amongst the other members of your team. You may not split points, and you should award all ten points. It is highly unlikely that all team members put in exactly equal effort, or achieved exactly equal results. You may split the points amongst the other team members however you wish – but try to faithfully represent the input, effort and achievements of each member of your group.
The individual critical review/peer assessment should be submitted by email to: . The deadline for submission is midnight on the day of project submission.
