Categories: Video Games

About Course

The objective of the Course in Video Game Development and Virtual Reality – Unity Officer is to provide the necessary training that allows the student to successfully face the development of a video game or an interactive experience in virtual reality from the role of a programmer.

You will train practically and from scratch in all the techniques and skills necessary to develop video games with Unity . Thanks to this, you will program your own scripts in C # at the same time that you will use the different tools offered by Unity to create professional interactive games and experiences.

Through the Course in Video Game Development and Virtual Reality in Unity3D Officer you will learn to:

Create and configure levels and scenarios taking advantage of Unity’s full graphic potential with 3D models , sprites, animations, lighting, graphic effects, etc.
Provide movement and functionality to the elements of the game through scripts that use the different Unity systems: logic, vector calculation, physics, animations, artificial intelligence , etc.
Create the necessary functionality to give your games and interactive experiences a professional quality and finish on different devices such as PC, Android or virtual reality glasses .

A course by

admin

Interest in the development and programming of video games.
Additional hours per week (between 15 and 25 hours) to carry out practices.
Knowledge and management of computing at the medium-advanced user level.
Ability to read and understand technical texts in English.
Interest or affinity with mathematics, physics, logic, and abstract reasoning.
Previous knowledge of object-oriented programming.
Although previous programming knowledge is not required, the absence of this must be made up of a high capacity and availability of time (at least 25 hours per week) to work autonomously outside of school hours, as well as a great interest in programming, the development of video games, and related subjects.
