Unit in brief
Learners investigate the computer games industry and its impact on technological and
social trends. They will design and develop a computer game to meet requirements.
Unit introduction
The computer games industry has been growing year on year and has become a
multi-billion industry. With the prevalence of computing devices, games consoles
and mobile devices, this growth shows no sign of slowing. Many computer
games are
vast productions involving a range of people such as programmers, graphical artists,
animators, level designers, actors and directors. As a games developer,
you will analyse
the needs of a client and understand the potential and limitations of different gaming
solutions.
In this unit, you will investigate the technologies used in the computer gaming industry
and the implications they have for users, developers and organisations. You will analyse
how user needs and preferences impact on game design and how target technologies
affect the design and development of a computer game. Finally, you will design, create
and review a computer game to meet requirements and reflect on
the skills and
understanding applied during the design and development process.
You will apply analytical skills that would be used by any software developer to
investigate the available technologies and current trends in order to design and develop
appropriate software solutions. The skills you gain through this unit will benefit you as
you progress to employment in the computer
gaming industry, for example in computer
games developer and software developer roles.
