Game Design
Learn to Create Your Virtual World.
Bolster your child’s creativity and passion to design the apps of the next generation, and even learn the inner workings of the software that powers our daily lives.
Our programme is designed to allow beginners to immerse themselves into the world of game and software creation. Students will learn how to create their very own games from scratch, covering the design process from start to finish – from conceptualising to programming, designing, and building their worlds. Lessons will be supplemented with lectures on topics regarding game design to give students more insight and build their repertoire of design knowledge.
Students in our game design program will learn and make use of these tools used in the games and software industry:
Unity – Industry Game Engine (Used in Genshin Impact, Pokemon, Cities Skylines)
Unreal Engine – Industry Game Engine (Used in Fortnite, PUBG, Final Fantasy)
Visual Studio – World-class Coding IDE
Blender – 3D Software
The programme consists of several modules, each with a different focus on an aspect of game design. These modules will conclude with a student project that allows them to apply their knowledge and take home a portfolio piece. Lessons are taken in terms of 10 sessions each, with a major project every other term to allow students to apply their learnings and test their competency.
Our programme is taught by MOE registered instructors with experience from the games and software industry. Suitable for ages 13 and up.
