Introduction

Game development is hard. Mark my words: it's an unforgiving and ungrateful job.

When developing a game alone, the learning curve is so steep that most people give up before they even truly begin.

The reason is simple: it's a multi-domain project involving far more work than meets the eye.

If you aren't afraid of hard work, you're thirsty for creativity and knowledge, and you're still attracted to game development after hearing what I've told you, then I'd like to welcome you among us lunatics...

Workshop Objectives

(all in 3h30... ;-;)

• Learn the existence of the different domains in GD (Game Development) -> Checkout roles
• Dive into specific a specific domain of GD -> Gameplay, Presentation, Story.
• Make a mod in a domain you like

Workshop (hidden) Objective

The goal isn't to make a masterpiece, nor is it to make a working mod (even if that would be nice :D). The goal is to discover the tools and process behind game development, and as told just up there, it's a multi-domain project.

Meaning you could potentially learn something (by learning Game Development) that could help you improve/push further your projects in a totally different domain.

So try to see what kind of possiblities this domain could offer you and that you could use to your advantage, even if you aren't interested in Game Development (which is perfectly understandable skill issue).

For those still interested despite everything I've told, completing this workshop in every domain will make you'll learn the foundations of Game Development, and understand how to make any kind of game from A to Z.

How and Why?

Modding (it's easier to build from something than from scratch):

• Solid and prebuilt foundation in every domains
• Students can focus on a particular aspect of GD
