Game Development is a 12-month distance learning program designed for anyone who wants to understand how games are created – from the initial idea and core game mechanics to a working prototype in Unreal Engine and the overall player experience.
Whether you prefer to work independently or in a small team, the program is built around hands-on practice, continuous iteration, and feedback.
The goal of the program is to help you develop your own game concepts, build mechanics and levels, create prototypes in Unreal Engine, and experience a real-world production process.
Game Development
Game Development is the process that transforms an idea into an interactive experience – the process of designing and building the systems that shape the gameplay. It defines how the game world works, what rules govern and drive it, how progression unfolds, and how the player interacts with everything.
At its core lie mechanics design, level creation, systems building, progression, gameplay storytelling, and turning concepts into working prototypes.
Game Developers constantly experiment, test, and refine their solutions. They think simultaneously about the player, the design, and the technical implementation, ensuring that every idea can be transformed into a polished experience. Whether working on an indie project or as part of a major studio, their goal remains the same – to create a world that is engaging to explore and satisfying to play.
For Whom
The program is designed for individuals who are curious about how games work and how engaging experiences are crafted.
It is the perfect fit for you if you love analyzing mechanics, designing systems, establishing rules, and experimenting with ideas. If you often find yourself asking questions like “Why is this level engaging?” or “What keeps the player going?”, you are already starting to think like a game designer.
No prior development experience is required, but a genuine curiosity about different types of games – digital, board games, and RPGs – is essential.
Skills
During the program, you won’t spend months developing a single idea. Instead, you will create multiple prototypes, test different solutions, and develop the skill of rapidly validating and improving concepts.
- Creating game concepts
- Designing mechanics and progression
- Building levels and interactive spaces
- Developing prototypes in Unreal Engine
- Managing a production process
- Presenting your own project
Curriculum
Over 12 months, you will progressively build your game design and prototyping skills. You will acquire the knowledge, techniques, and practical experience needed to create complete interactive projects and thrive in the game industry.
Semester 1: The Core
You will be introduced to the principles of game design, analyze games as systems, and develop the skills to turn ideas into prototypes. In parallel, you will start working with Unreal Engine and build an understanding of the connection between narrative, space, interface, and interaction.
- Game Design
- Narrative & Visual Storytelling
- Level Design
- Engine Fundamentals
- UI/UX
- Visual Scripting & Prototyping
Semester 2: The Production
Once you have built a solid foundation, the focus shifts to developing more complex game systems and navigating a real production process. You will work on economy, balancing, project organization, publishing, and building a community around a game.
- Game Design Advance
- Economy Design
- Production
- Publishing, Marketing & Community Building
Lab Work: Personal Portfolio
This is a practical phase – during the final 2 months of the 2nd semester – focused on creating a professional portfolio. You will work on individual projects that will showcase your skills and potential.
- Portfolio Development
- Soft Skills
