3-MONTH MILESTONE
Build your creative foundation through game analysis, storytelling, programming logic and your first playable prototype.
WHAT YOU'LL EXPLORE
WHAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DO
Break down what makes games work — analyse mechanics, rules and player motivation in existing titles.
Apply story-structure frameworks to build an original game world, premise and cast.
Write and reason through basic programming logic — variables, conditionals and loops — the shared foundation behind both C++ and C#.
Use AI-assisted tools, including 3D AI Studio and Meshy AI, to speed up concept art, mood boards and early 3D blockouts.
Paint and compose concept art and mood boards in Photoshop.
Navigate Unreal Engine 5, use Blueprints, and assemble a simple, playable level from scratch.
Present creative work clearly and respond constructively to critique.
YOUR COMPLETION MILESTONE
Assessment combines your project's quality, individual contribution, documented process and presentation.
Our primary engine for RPG production — real-time worlds, Blueprints and C++ programming.
Official software site ↗Generates base 3D models from images or text prompts to accelerate early asset blockouts.
Text-to-3D and image-to-3D generation for early assets, followed by review, cleanup and game-engine testing.
Official software site ↗2D concept art, mood boards, texture painting and marketing/store-page compositing.
Software names and logos identify tools in the proposed curriculum. They do not imply certification, sponsorship or an institutional partnership. Licenses, subscriptions and tool availability will be confirmed before enrollment.
THE NEXT THREE MONTHS / IN DETAIL
Indicative teaching sequence. These are the three months leading to this milestone; the full pathway builds cumulatively.
Analyse the rules, goals, choices and feedback in Chess, Super Mario, Galaga and Dangerous Dave. Keep a play journal and prototype a simple rule change before opening an engine.
Game analysis journal, one-page concept and a paper prototype.
Develop a premise, protagonist and central conflict. Explore silhouettes, mood boards and storyboard beats. Practice programming logic, variables, conditions and loops.
Story outline, character concept sheet, visual direction and a logic exercise.
Block out a small level in Unreal Engine. Connect movement, interaction, feedback and a clear goal using beginner-friendly gameplay logic. Test, revise and present.
A small playable prototype, visual bible and individual process portfolio.
Expect to show working builds, explain your decisions and document your own contribution. A team deliverable does not replace individual competency. Final rubrics, attendance rules and reassessment arrangements will be shared before formal enrollment.
