Content
Aka. "Game Studio Larp"
During this course, you develop a video game together with a team for two years and participate in monthly course meetings (about 22 meetings). In the meetings, we discuss topics related to running a game studio on a wide scale - from production to company culture, and from market research to looking for funding. For some topics, we invite industry senior guest speakers. On top of this, during each meeting, we agree on monthly milestones for your team based on your situation. We follow up on these milestones and discuss any shortcomings.
You can complete the course with either 5 credits or 10 credits.
5 credits: you actively work with your team and participate in the monthly meetings.
