„I actually came with zero expectations and was pleasantly surprised at how much a beginner can learn about his department and how to deal with completely new programmes in this relatively short time.”
Game development in the summer semester
The following summer semester is dedicated to larger projects, each developed by a team. These projects are more extensive video games based on a selection of Game Jam games or other game ideas from the previous semester. The selection is made by the organising team based on feedback from the participants of the last Game Jam. Instead of workshops, there are then regular team meetings in which the teams present their interim results and receive feedback from the organising team. The games are also presented on site at the end of the summer semester.
Alongside computer game development, students gain insights into computer game research. Game Studies has established itself as an interdisziplinär field of research. By writing assignments in the field of computer games research, students gain an insight into the study of computer games and their roles in society.
