Desarrollo y Diseño de Videojuegos: Proyecto final
Este proyecto final del Programa Especializado en Desarrollo y Diseño de Videojuegos te permite desarrollar durante 8 semanas un juego completo, entretenido y con visión de mercado, con base en lo que has aprendido en los demás cursos. Contamos con el apoyo de Samsung de Colombia, Teravision Games y 12 Hit Combo Studios, como describimos más adelante. Durante 8 semanas definiremos el documento de diseño del videojuego, haremos la planeación y seguimiento según los conceptos de desarrollo ágil adquiridos, definiremos la estrategia de mercadeo y el público objetivo, desarrollaremos iterativamente dos versiones de nuestro juego y utilizaremos información de seguimiento de jugadores para ajustar nuestro juego. Al final produciremos un trailer corto de nuestro prototipo y un pitch corto, los cuales te permitirán mostrarlo fácilmente a posibles inversionistas o personas interesadas. Samsung Colombia está interesada en que desarrolles este juego para su plataforma Gear VR. Puedes usar el material adicional que agregamos en el curso para guiarte a este respecto. Al final, cuéntanos en la entrega final si deseas mostrar tu juego a Samsung. Escogeremos en cada curso un juego, el cual se hará acreedor a un Samsung Galaxy S6 con su Gear VR (ten en cuenta que tenemos pendientes los detalles de envío). Teravision Games y 12 Hit Combo están interesados en ofrecer internships a estudiantes destacados que terminen este certificado.
