Game Design: Side-scrolling Adventures (Age 9-11)
Youth Education
In the style of Mega Man, Mario, and Castlevania, students will have the chance to design their own classic side-scroller adventure. They will have complete control over the design of the video game and will create original characters and environments. Using Unreal Engine, tudents will design objects that can be picked up to help their avatar and create obstacles to increase the difficulty of the game. The course concludes with a prototype that can be further developed and shared with family and friends. Co-sponsored with Utah Division of Games.
Learning Outcomes:
- Experience learning Unreal Engine software
- Program essential game mechanics
