Game Design - Overview

Get Inside
the Game at Emagination's Game Design Camp for Teens
Teens 15-18 years old experience what it's like to work at today's
top game design studios as they choose a role on a team and design
and build a 3D video game.
Immersive and Fast Paced Two-Week Overnight
Program --- Weekends Included
Teens experience an intensive and fun two weeks working on a game
development team whose ultimate quest is to design and build a 3D
video game. There are no prerequisites. The program runs 14 days and
13 nights. Fun on the weekends with fellow game designers is part
of the program and is included at no extra charge. Spend free time
hanging out with friends in the dorms, challenging other teens to
console and computer gaming tournaments and finalizing components
of your team's game.


Learn the Valuable Skills of Today's Professionals
Teens learn the key technical and creative components of video game
design including level design and function, the creation of 3D characters,
lighting, sound effects and programming. We use industry standard
software including 3ds Max® and Maya® from Autodesk; Adobe
Photoshop®; and Unreal Engine 3 from Epic Games.
Join a Development Team
Choose a role --- Level Designer, 3D Animator, Audio Artist, Story
Writer, Programmer, and Game Tester (everyone's a Game Tester!).
Build a Playable 3D Game
Lead Designers (aka the Instructors) oversee development teams as
they use an industry standard Design Document to build a playable
3D game with the Unreal Development Kit powered by Unreal Engine 3.
Construct the game world. Create 3D characters and animations. Select
the sound & music. Program objects & controls. Create the menus.
The
perfect summer for teens who are serious about game design.
