Games Design


Unit: 9


This unit aims to provide learners with an understanding of the underlying principles of game design that define the way that games work, focusing on esports games. Learners must appreciate these key principles before applying them to their own game ideas and creating their own game design documents.

You will apply research skills used by all games developers to investigate the available trends in order to design and develop appropriate documents. The skills you gain through this unit will help you as you progress to employment in the gaming industry, for example as a games developer, level designer or producer. These skills will also help you to progress into further education in the digital arts by providing you with tools and refining your skills, which will be suitable across all sectors.
