Subject Description

Game On

In this subject, students will work towards specifications Angry Birds developers have asked Tenison Woods College to follow. They have requested students get their game on and create a new concept design for a game of their choice. The aim of the game is to study app-based games such as Angry Birds, Rayman Legends, or Hollow Knight and recreate a new level as if they were a game concept artist.

Students are able to be the king of the birds, and, like last year’s winner who developed ‘Fry me to the Moon’, students have the opportunity to define and develop, present and evaluate your true calling as a game designer.
