Tuition: $999 $799.20 with code EARLYBIRD_25
The increasing popularity of games like Fortnite means that massive development teams are constantly building complex tools for designers and artists to generate new content for players. Designing the large maps and programming the complex systems used in these games may seem intimidating, but these same skills can easily lead to a career in a number of fields!
Students in this Adventurers workshop will be introduced to the core concepts of game development while learning to use the Unreal Engine for Fortnite. Instructors will offer students a practical understanding of game development and the importance of well-designed game maps and modes that keep players engaged.
By the end of the workshop, students will be able to design, program, and iterate their own game modes and additional systems for Fortnite.
Projects in this workshop may include: Developing a playable parkour game and creating a racing game.
[My son] rarely talks about what he does in a camp. So when he volunteered information at the end of each day I knew he was loving the camp. The small group allowed him to get to know some of his camp peers and his instructors really well. On the last day of camp, before I even asked his thoughts, he asked ‘do I have any more camps with DigiPen this summer?’ Then he immediately went on to say he wanted to sign up for a bunch of them next summer because he learned so much.
