♡This module focuses on developing a small snippet of a game (vertical slice). The games we are creating are one of our peers game ideas using their GDD to guide us.
♡We will be working in a close-knit team where we are expected to each have our own role to successfully produce a vertical slice.
♡The teams for each “Vertical Slice” will be set up in the form of a small indie game operation, working under roles of Chief Technical Officer (CTO) and Chief Operating Officer (COO), your own role will determine the specific nature of your work.
♡Our portfolio should consist of all studio work developed over the course of the semester, including evidence of workshop and tutorial activities, all sketchbooks, research, annotation and preparatory material alongside outcomes as directed.
