This class is intended for students interested in a friendly intro on how to make their own 3D games! Donโt just play video games, make them! Students will learn to create a platform style 3D video game! Students create games using a 3D graphical game engine software. They will learn the mechanics behind 3D games, explore simple, beginner event scripting, level design, and controlling flow of gameplay. ๐๐ง๐๐ก๐๐ฅ๐๐ฅ๐ฌ (See Syllabus for more detailed class info) ใฐ๏ธ Students will first be introduced to the game by playing a game level which also educates on the things needed to put together a workable game. ใฐ๏ธ Direct Instruction: Students will follow along with the teacher as he shows them how to put together a basic game. ใฐ๏ธ Game Design Practice: Students will start creating their own level, with assistance from the instructor. No background experience is required, but helpful. โ ๏ธThere are NO live meetings for this class. The material will be posted weekly and you can view it during the week at your convenience. For each week, students will receive videos that I have been pre-recorded for instruction. Students are expected to communicate with the teacher through the classroom page. Communication is important for me to help the students get a better understanding of the subject.

Hi, my name is Raymond Mullikin. ๐
I am a professional cartoonist and credentialed teacher from San Luis Obispo, California.
I teach classes in Cartooning, Comic Book Printing and Publishing, 2D Cartoon Animation, Claymation/Stop Motion, Toy Figure Design, Video Game and App Coding, Creative Writing, etc.
I am also a professional illustrator/writer and Creative Director for Raytoons Comics. The Raytoons website is at Raytoons.Net. I have published cartoons in books, magazines, newspapers, and e-cards. I am an app designer who have designed my own games and software for schools and Appstores. I have also done past work in animation, creating animated film shorts for film festivals around the world.
I graduated from the University of Laverne with a Teaching Credential (2012) and a BA in Liberal Studies (2009). I also have certifications in Early Childhood Education, Technology and 2D Design. I've worked in education for 20+ years (including a few years in Special Ed) and have been doing contract teaching since 2009. I teach art and technology to children and adults of all ages.
How students approach a learning task can strongly influence the quality of their learning outcomes. For me, my approach is often very hands on (kinesthetic) with a lot of visual examples... That's how I've learned things, with a more creative approach. I have a lot of this in my instruction, with a mix of direct and interactive instruction with lots of Experiential Learning hands on!
It is also important to me to get feedback from both children and parents... Some kids have some very clever ideas! And, in teaching, there is always room for expansion of ideas and improving oneself.
I love drawing, comics, writing, creating my own games, and reading. Pretty much everything that I teach I enjoy and do professionally. I also enjoy teaching and thank all the parents and students willing to give me a try! ๐Reviews
