Lecturer: Sebastian Lieb, Thorsten Thormählen
Module name: CS 502 Career Preparation / Marburg Skills
Language of the course: German
This module provides an insight into game development with the Unity game engine. During the course, a computer game is to be conceptually developed and implemented. For this purpose, all required sub-areas and steps of development, such as graphic programming, game design, and game logic are covered. The aim of the course is to understand the individual phases of game development and to implement your own game. A large part of the course consists of supervised independent work or working together in small groups, similar to what can be found in a professional working environment. Basic knowledge of programming is required. Previous knowledge of graphics programming, C#, good time management, and the ability to work in a team are an advantage.
