Game Development Course - Mostar

2024

This intensive course was centered on 3D game development using Unity and C#. Throughout the program, we built a strong foundation in programming gameplay mechanics, designing enemy behavior, and creating intuitive UI elements like enemy health bars to enhance player interaction. A standout feature of the course was learning procedural level generation - where we took 2D maze-like maps and transformed them into immersive 3D worlds, gaining hands-on experience with spatial design and environment creation. Beyond coding, we delved deeply into the artistic and sensory aspects of game development. We integrated dynamic animations to bring characters and environments to life, used sound effects (SFX) to provide responsive audio feedback, and layered visual effects (VFX) to heighten the atmosphere and impact of in-game events. Music composition and placement were also emphasized, teaching us how to set tone and mood effectively, making the gameplay more engaging and immersive. The course culminated in a practical final project: developing a fully functional Bomberman-style game that combined all these elements cohesively, showcasing our understanding of both the technical and creative sides of game creation.
