In the winter semester, students work in teams, so-called “departments”. The departments specialise in 2D Arts, 3D Arts, Audio, Coding, and Game Design. In weekly workshops, the students learn all the basic knowledge of the area, the software used, and teamwork. At the end, there is a game jam in which the departments come together and put their skills to the test. A functioning small video game is created within a short period of time.

The work in the summer semester builds onto the winter semester. One or more larger-scale video games that go beyond a prototype are being developed.

Their participation in teaching in the GamesLab gives students practical media experience, helps them practice interdisciplinarity, and provides experience in teamwork and game development as a basis for the professional world. Students also have access to a large number of consoles and video games.

The GamesLab’s room is N5.216. It houses a total of 20 computers that can be used by participants to work on the seminar. Department-specific computer stations also have additional equipment. You can also buy drinks and snacks directly in the lab, saving you the trip to the cafeteria.
