Minecraft の高度なゲーム デザイン キャンプ: ゲームの共同作業とデザイン (5 セッション)

PLATFORM:
(Minecraft Java Edition for PC / Mac Only! Not compatible with Ipads, Kindles, Tablets, Phones, and Game Consoles.)

SKILL LEVEL:
This program is meant for Advanced level players. This program requires Moderate reading comprehension, Moderate proficiency with computers, and in-depth prior experience with Minecraft. Additionally, campers will need typing and hotkey proficiency, along with basic arithmetic skills.

We recommend that you take our Game Design Camp in Minecraft before taking this program to ensure that you have the best experience possible. 

PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
Have you ever wanted to use Minecraft to express your game design ideas? In this camp, you’ll collaborate with other students to design a game from start to finish in a custom Minecraft server. Like all Connected Camps programs, this class offers a project-based, exploratory classroom environment that sits at the intersection of learning and playing. After all, kids learn the most when they're having fun!

This is a repeatable camp that will focus on a different video game project each time you attend. As you work with your team to craft a unique gaming experience, we’ll also teach you the same process that real-life game designers use to create games like Minecraft and The Legend of Zelda.

Over the course of the camp, you will:

— Learn the game design process and each of its stages to plan, document, create, and playtest.
— Add game mechanics like quests and ranking systems to flesh out your game.
— Collaborate with others by assigning a unique role for each team member in order to complete the project.
— Learn the value of playtesting and how to use feedback to improve your work.

At the start of this camp, we’ll analyze what makes a role-playing game unique and brainstorm how we can build one. As a team, we’ll compose a game design plan before we assign unique tasks and roles for each team member. You’ll then get to add different mechanics to enhance the gameplay experience and make it more challenging. Finally, you’ll perform group playtest to see your successes and how the game can be improved.

PARENTS: 
This is a camp for kids to collaborate and work collectively to design a week-long group project with the game design process. As your child sets and meets their goals, they will also learn the key elements of group project management which translates well into any future play and work. 

By combining Minecraft with education, your child will be able to engage their passions as they have fun in a positive, interest-driven environment. This is a 5-session camp that lasts a week. Our game design project camps have a different theme for each week so students can take on a variety of projects to continue their practice. Please note that we will be asking for your camper's in-game username so that we can add them to our server's safelist.
