This course aims to equip participants with the technical skills, creative techniques, and industry insights needed to create compelling mobile games from scratch. Through a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application, students will gain the confidence and capability to bring their unique game ideas to life and make a mark in the thriving mobile gaming industry. The main goal of this course is to guide students through the entire game development process, from initial concept development to the final deployment of a mobile game on app stores. Emphasizing a hands-on approach, the course encourages students to actively engage with the content, apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios, and develop a portfolio-worthy project by the end of the training. By combining technical proficiency with creative exploration, participants will learn not only how to develop games but also how to design engaging gameplay experiences, integrate monetization strategies, and conduct effective user testing. Our methodology is designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and mastery. The course is structured to include both synchronous and asynchronous learning elements, providing flexibility while ensuring a rich, interactive experience. Each module includes a series of video lectures, live Q&A sessions with expert instructors, and collaborative workshops where students can work together on projects or challenges. Instructors will guide participants through complex topics, offering personalized feedback, one-on-one coaching sessions, and constructive critiques to support their learning journey. This approach ensures that students feel supported and motivated, fostering a community of practice where learners can grow alongside their peers. Throughout the course, students will explore a wide range of topics essential for successful mobile game development. Starting with game design fundamentals, participants will learn how to conceptualize their game ideas, develop storylines, and create engaging characters. They'll delve into the technical aspects of game development, including programming languages commonly used in the industry such as Unity with C# or Unreal Engine with Blueprint. With hands-on projects, students will explore game physics, AI, animation techniques, and sound design, building a strong foundation in both the art and science of game creation. In addition to technical skills, students will gain insights into the business side of game development. The course covers topics such as market analysis, monetization strategies, and effective marketing techniques to ensure their games reach the right audience. Students will also learn about app store optimization, user acquisition strategies, and analytics, equipping them with the knowledge to launch and sustain a successful mobile game. By understanding the commercial landscape, participants will be better prepared to make informed decisions and develop business-savvy strategies. The culmination of the course is a capstone project, where students apply their newly acquired skills to create a fully functional mobile game. This project will serve as both a practical application of their learning and a showcase piece for their professional portfolio. By the end of the course, students will have a thorough understanding of the mobile game development process, an expansive skill set, and the confidence to pursue a career in this exciting and ever-evolving industry.
