Assignment 1 - Option II: Learn on your own a freely available gaming engine and develop a game

Depending on which option you take in this assignment, you should, For option I: • Discuss at least two different industrial applications of serious gaming. • Describe and critically analyse var ious different gaming technologies that are utilized in the applications you have selected. For option II: • Do a comparative analysis of at least two different game engines to select a suitable engine for you to learn and start using the engine. • Go through the self-learning tutorial videos on the gaming engine you selected, download and install the software and be familiar with using the system • Decide on a project that you would like to do, which should be at sufficient complexity (you may discuss your idea with the lecturer in charge), and design a digital prototype of your idea. • Critically reflect about your selection of gaming technologies, development procedures and conclusions and discuss the limitations of your project. Generic: • All submitted reports must be accompanied by the compulsory cover page. No coursework without the completed cover page will be marked. Game engines with built in Integrated Development Environments (IDE) allow rapid prototyping and development of interactive software using high definition graphics and accurate physical simulations (Bond, 2014). The means to create sophisticated gaming experiences have become publicly available, providing independent game developers with a starting point for the creation of original games. This report will explore the use of a game engine to develop a game prototype
