Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to work innovatively in game development, using thoughtful strategies and well-developed technical skills to accommodate a specified design brief.It applies to individuals who support the design, development and programming of interactive 3-D media and digital games as part of a larger development team.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Identify and analyse commonly used design concepts for games and 3-D media
  • 1.1 Obtain the project brief and other relevant organisational documents and procedures
  • 1.2 Research and identify commonly used design concepts in digital games and interactive 3-D media
  • 1.3 Analyse and interpret chosen common design concepts used in digital games and interactive 3-D media
  • 1.4 Discuss design considerations for designing a digital game or an interactive 3-D media concept
2. Identify appropriate software packages used for a digital game and 3-D concept design
  • 2.1 Identify and review the appropriate range of industry-standard software available to develop design concepts
  • 2.2 Assess the software related to the concept design process requirements
  • 2.3 Discuss the technical specifications for the development process
  • 2.4 Select the software package
3. Use a chosen software package
  • 3.1 Run the selected software package and become familiar with the user interface
  • 3.2 Create new files, organise and develop a file structure
  • 3.3 Learn the required tools and components used to create, and develop a digital game, or interactive 3-D media concept
4. Create and develop the concept components for a digital game or interactive media
  • 4.1 Design a heads-up display for a digital game or 3-D interactive media
  • 4.2 Consider specific processes for the heads-up display elements
  • 4.3 Document the design, necessary programming process and requirements needed to implement the heads-up display
  • 4.4 Use the chosen software package to create and develop the visual design elements, and components, to be used for the heads-up display
5. Implement a design concept into a game or 3-D interactive media
  • 5.1 Load in the images required and write the code to implement the heads-up display into an existing framework
  • 5.2 Write code to demonstrate heads-up display capabilities with implemented concepts
6. Evaluate the implementation
  • 6.1 Demonstrate implementation to the relevant personnel
  • 6.2 Accept feedback to incorporate into the final design
  • 6.3 Assess and refine the concept with the relevant personnel
  • 6.4 Evaluate the usability of the concept’s components
  • 6.5 Reflect on possible changes to improve the visual design and capabilities of the components
