Role Playing Games are a sub-genre of video (and tabletop) games in which the player assumes the role of a character in a fictional world. In this dynamic and multi-disciplinary course, we embark on a collaborative creative journey, imagining, designing and creating immersive virtual worlds, design engaging and challenging levels and program - from scratch - our very own Roleplaying video game!

• Programming Fundamentals: Object Oriented Programming, Clauses, Loops, and Classes. Students will learn fundamental basics of programming that will be foundational to every programming language in existence - this includes the classes, methods, and objects; conditional and durational clauses; loops; and variables.
• Character Modelling: Students will begiven an opportunity to combine technical knowledge with creativity by creating characters that will populate their virtual worlds. We’ll explore various design processes to help the students bring the vision of their characters to life.
• World Building: Similar to character design, students will have their imaginative powers called upon to craft an immersive and engaging world to set their games in.
• Narrative Design & Level Design: Every role -playing game needs a story - and through this course, we will be giving each student the power to craft their own stories around their characters and their worlds, tying them all together with our newfound knowledge of programming to create level-after-level in which their players can experience their creation firsthand!
