Learner goals and capabilities

Do you have a game idea but no time to build it? Is there a game technology that you would like to research? In this project, small teams of students in the Game Programming Advanced Diploma create a game prototype using a game engine (Unity or Unreal) or by building their own custom C++ engine.

They have the option to develop their own ideas or collaborate with an external client. Can you convince them that they should team up with you?

Project Examples

Our first year students are being introduced to the Unity and Unreal engines. Click here for a list of mid-program projects (midstone) currently being built (zoom in and click on the links to see code and video/LinkedIn updates).

Our final year (3rd year) students have experience with game engines and are on their way to building their own C++ engines. Click here for a list of capstone projects that were built during the 2018-2019 academic year (zoom in and click on the links to see code and video/LinkedIn updates).

Project examples include, but are not limited to:

- For Video game companies: Launch a potential new game idea

- For Marketers: Use video games to engage customers and prospects in new ways
