UELGames

Convert your passion for playing games into the skills for making games

We run two game courses at UEL and both have a particular emphasis on developing gameplay and designing games.

Design is a confusing term and means different things to development teams. Within a game context there are many aspects of that will be designed: Visual design, Sound design, Prop design, Environment design, Level design, Gameplay design, Story design, Character design, Software design, Interface design.

Our courses will provide a general overview of all the design aspects mention above but above all focus on the game design and gameplay, and share a common core of modules. Outside of this BSc Computer Game Development students take extra modules focused on developing software design and programming skills. BA Computer Games Design: Story Development students take extra modules focused on creative writing and an in-depth understanding of narrative structures and archetypes and how these apply to games design.
