T2. Work as a member of an interdisciplinary team either as an additional member or performing management tasks in order to contribute to developing projects with pragmatism and a sense of responsibility, making commitments and taking into account available resources.
In this subject, students must develop a project integrating the knowledge achieved so far. The project is done in teams of about four people. The project of creating a video game must consist of game design, 3D art, development in an engine like Unity and its management following video game production methodologies.
This subject has methodological and digital resources to make possible its continuity in non-contact mode in the case of being necessary for reasons related to the Covid-19. In this way, the achievement of the same knowledge and skills that are specified in this teaching plan will be ensured.
The Tecnocampus will make available to teachers and students the digital tools needed to carry out the course, as well as guides and recommendations that facilitate adaptation to the non-contact mode.
At the end of the course students must be able to:
E2.1. Design mechanics and rules of the game that as a whole is called gameplay.
E2.2. Design levels including strategies, definition of puzzles or the mission to complete, so that the objectives set by the script are achieved.
E2.3. Design the narrative of a video game and specify the interactive script.
E2.4. Balance a game or game level considering all available parameters and variables and thus offer a satisfactory user experience at the required difficulty level of the level, part or totality of the game.
E2.5. Design sound and music for the game.
E3.3. Design the game taking into account the psychological characteristics of the user.
E3.4. Design the user interface according to the criteria of usability and user experience.
E5.1. Write and maintain the set of documents that is known in its entirety as a "Game design document (GDD)".
E5.2. Communicate effectively to the team of artists and developers and other members the specifications of the project, from the GDD.
E6.1 Design the software architecture of a video game according to specifications.
