Course overview
This course is designed to introduce participants to game design concepts, focusing on using AI to generate game characters, utilizing GDevelop for game development, and implementing multiplayer networking. Each session lasts one hour and includes both theoretical and practical components.
Session 1: Introduction to Game Design and AI Character Generation
- Objective: Understand the fundamentals of game design and explore AI tools for character creation.
- Activities:
- Overview of game design principles: gameplay mechanics, storytelling, and user experience.
- Introduction to AI character generators: Discuss how AI can assist in creating unique game characters.
- Explore various AI character generation tools (e.g., VEED, Artguru) and their features.
- Hands-On Activity:
- Participants will use an AI character generator to create their own game character. They will describe their character's traits and visualize them using the tool.
Session 2: Getting Started with GDevelop
- Objective: Learn how to use GDevelop to create a simple game prototype.
- Activities:
- Introduction to GDevelop: Overview of its interface, features, and capabilities.
- Discuss the process of game development in GDevelop, including scene creation, sprite management, and event handling.
- Hands-On Activity:
- Participants will create a basic 2D game (e.g., a platformer or a top-down shooter) using GDevelop. They will import the characters created in the previous session and set up basic gameplay mechanics.
Session 3: Implementing Multiplayer Networking
- Objective: Understand the basics of multiplayer game networking and how to implement it in GDevelop.
- Activities:
- Overview of multiplayer game concepts: client-server architecture, peer-to-peer networking, and synchronization.
- Discuss GDevelop's capabilities for multiplayer games, including the use of WebSockets and online services.
- Hands-On Activity:
- Participants will modify their GDevelop game to include basic multiplayer functionality. They will set up a simple networked game where players can join and interact in real-time.
Session 4: Final Project and Presentation
- Objective: Complete the multiplayer game project and present it to the group.
- Activities:
- Finalize the multiplayer game, troubleshoot issues, and enhance gameplay features.
- Prepare a presentation that includes a demonstration of the game, discussing the design choices, character creation process, and networking implementation.
- Hands-On Activity:
- Each participant or group will present their completed game, showcasing the characters generated with AI, the gameplay mechanics developed in GDevelop, and the multiplayer features implemented.
Additional Resources
- Materials Needed:
- Computers with internet access.
- Access to AI character generation tools.
- GDevelop installed on each computer.
- Learning Outcomes:
