Junior Pro - Vocational training Game Developer | BLOCKCHAIN & METAVERSE duration Part-time
The video game market is constantly expanding, fueled by both large software houses and a growing number of independent developers. These independent developers, often organized into small- or medium-sized teams, are able to offer innovative and engaging gaming experiences.
The evolution of dedicated frameworks, increasingly intuitive development environments, and emerging technologies like the Metaverse and Artificial Intelligence has made Game Development accessible even to enthusiasts without a technical programming background. The Metaverse, in particular, is redefining the very concept of a video game, creating persistent and interconnected digital worlds where gaming experiences blend with social interaction and creativity.
But how do you turn an idea into a video game, integrate it into the Metaverse, and use AI to enrich the gaming experience?
This course was created to answer precisely these questions. Our goal is to guide you, through a practical approach, in studying the main components of a video game. We will start by familiarizing you with Unity3D, learning to move simple geometric shapes, and then move on to creating a complete game. At the same time, we will explore the use of AI Prompt Master, a lab dedicated to learning techniques for generating effective prompts that can be used to automate content, improve design, and create intelligent interactions within games.
The course will also allow you to understand how to develop games and virtual environments designed for the Metaverse, taking advantage of the potential of immersive platforms. Each topic will be addressed through a series of mini-projects, analyzing in detail the typical challenges of the development process, with a specific focus on how they integrate into the dynamics of the Metaverse and AI technologies.
This unique program is designed to turn your passion into advanced skills, opening the doors to the future of gaming and immersive experiences.
