Game Project 1 - 2D game (5cr)

Evaluation methods and criteria

The student completes the required work hours and returns all required assignments on time with acceptable quality.
The evaluation is also influenced by self- and peer reviews. The team's common work contribution affects the overall grade.

Working hours requirement: If you fail to reach the agreed total hours for the course, it will affect your final grade.
Communication is essential: Any absences, late submissions, or delays must be communicated to the teachers in advance (or as soon as possible in case of unforeseen circumstances).​
Consequences for late deliveries:​
- Minor delays without communication or shortage of required working hours: maximum grade 3.​
- Significant delays or major shortage of required working hours: grade may be reduced to 1.​
Exceptions: If you discuss the situation with the teachers beforehand and agree on an adjusted plan, these penalties may not apply.

Teaching methods

At the course kick-off session, students are divided into small groups. Each group consists of game programmers, a game producer, game artists, and, if necessary, a game designer. The size of the groups is determined during the initial kick-off session. The groups work independently and progress with their projects in a goal-oriented manner, following good practices and effective working methods.

During the course, students take part in both joint sessions and workshops related to their own area of specialization. In addition to the project work, students prepare the required documentation about the project’s implementation.

Participation in the kick-off session is important for successfully completing the course.

Completion alternatives

Optional execution methods can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.
