Purpose and description of the content of education:
The aim of this module is to develop advanced-level skills in digital game development, focusing on both creative and technical competencies required for the role of a game designer. Emphasis is placed on the use of specialized software. Students apply advanced functions of professional development tools, including game engines, and refine their techniques through exercises of high complexity that integrate creative competencies with practical skills essential for producing functional digital game prototypes and entering the game industry. They refine the competencies necessary to organize the development process at various stages and to manage their own work as well as that of other team members.
