You will learn how to design levels and content on paper and in-engine (using the Unity game engine) under supervision from the senior game design team. They will also learn how to recognise where effort needs to be put to improve a game by observing user test sessions. You will provide creative, imaginative and original solutions to design questions and internalise and represent the design philosophy of the game to other team members. You will also learn how the various disciplines that work together to create a modern computer game interact with each other, as well as the various processes and stages of development and how a game processes through each of them until a product is released.
