Syllabus

WEEK 1
Módulo 1: Introducción al curso y conceptos básicos sobre videojuegos 3D
Bienvenido al curso introductorio sobre Desarrollo de Videojuegos 3D en Unity. En este primer módulo definiremos las bases de nuestro trabajo, revisaremos el juego y te invitaremos a crear tu propio repositorio en Github.

WEEK 2
Módulo 2: Inicio de tu propio desarrollo
¡Hola! Te damos la bienvenida al módulo 2, en el que trabajarás la primera versión de la escena en 3D en Unity, así como el comportamiento físico del personaje principal; también haremos una breve introducción a Shaders, o programas de GPU. Al finalizar este módulo tendrás una primera imagen del nivel de la máquina del Goldberg que vas a desarrollar a lo largo del curso.

WEEK 3
Módulo 3: Conceptos de programación
En este módulo continuamos el desarrollo de tu nivel. En esta semana queremos que agregues comportamiento, y para ello complementamos los conceptos de programación vistos en el curso introductorio.

WEEK 4
Módulo 4: Terminando tu Nivel. Publicación
Con este módulo terminamos el sprint de desarrollo de tu nivel. Para lograr esto, revisarás los conceptos de interfaz en un juego 3D, el procedimiento de generación de analytics de la versión 5 de Unity y publicarás en Kongregate tu nivel de la máquina de Goldberg en que has venido trabajando.

WEEK 5
Módulo 5: Pruebas del trabajo de otros y mejoras a tu prototipo
En este último módulo se busca enriquecer lo hecho a lo largo el curso por los distintos participantes mediante información de retorno entre pares y, a partir de esto, mejorar la versión del propio juego antes de publicar tu prototipo (en Kongregate) y los recursos de divulgación asociados (trailer y pitch).

Introduction to C++ Programming and Unreal (Coursera)

This course is all about starting to learn how to develop video games using the C++ programming language and the Unreal Engine on Windows or Mac. This course assumes you have previous programming experience in some other language. Although we'll start at the very beginning for C++, hardly anybody learns (or teaches) C++ as a first language. Similarly, Unreal Engine is a commercial, industrial strength game engine. With great power comes great ... complexity, so it's important that you have the will to work hard to learn how to use C++ in Unreal Engine.

World Design for Video Games (Coursera)

Start creating your world. A game world is not just a backdrop for your game—be it minimal or detailed, contained or part of a much bigger universe, it provides the context for your player. Ultimately, a game world should feel alive and wholly unique to any player who will experience it. In this course, we will explore game worlds in existing games and study the art and influences that inform their themes and styles. We will also investigate key components of environment and level design as well as strategies designers use to define gameplay or advance it. We’ll also look at navigation and the elements that make your world as real (or unreal) as you want it to be.
