Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
Intermediate - Advanced Level
In this ongoing experience, students will spend time showcasing and receiving feedback on games they are making!

The games can be made in any engine (such as Unity, Unreal, or Godot), and physical games are also allowed!

At the start of a session, I will have a quick round of introductions. After that, I will move into playing people's games through screen share. I can either play the game myself, or comment on a learner's gameplay. During the game showcase, I will give feedback and highlight the strengths of what the student has made.

Time will be split between learners, so please make sure if there's a specific part you want me to test, that you add a way to get me there quickly!

Since this class is learner directed, each week's general discussions will be dependent on what projects each individual project brings. I will be moderating the learner discussion to make sure that every project receives constructive feedback.

Example Topics that may receive feedback
Oct 24th: Camera control
Oct 31st: Gameplay clarity (often referred to as "game feel" or "juice")
Nov 7th: Difficulty balancing
Nov 14th: Tutorial effectiveness

Other Details

Parental Guidance
If your student would like feedback on a digital game, please have an executable file or web version that you can link to the teacher. If your student wants feedback on a board game, please link to the rules somewhere that the teacher can access it and follow along as you play
Pre-Requisites
This class does require your learner to have some sort of game they're working on, should they wish to showcase it and receive feedback. Board games are also accepted, but the full rules must be available to see.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
