Video Game Design – Game Ideation (School Holiday Workshop - 10am-4pm - Ages 14–18)
Programs & Events
All Video Games start with Game Design, in this workshop we introduce students to the position of a Video Game Designer. We will break down the process of design, explore genres and systems of different games, explain the process of game design documents, and introduce students to Unity via the Unity Essentials pathways leaving students with the tools to start on the path of learning a game engine.
