课程介绍
NHSGA is divided into two phases, Class Instruction and Collaborative Projects.
Class Instruction
In the first two weeks of the program, class instruction consists of daily lectures and workshops centered on crucial skills needed to build a video game. Topics include Programming in Unity, 2D art, 3D art, project management, and sound design/music composition. These all receive equal weight. Homework is assigned in every class, and the NHSGA instructors grade and evaluate the homework in order to assign the students to their ideal role when team assignments arrive. These lectures run 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day for the first two weeks. Lunch is provided.
Collaborative Projects
Over the last four weeks of the program, each student then builds two collaborative projects. The first is a “Lightning Round,” where teams are first selected and then given one week to build from scratch an old-school arcade game such as Pac-Man or Galaga. This dynamic week teaches the students how best to navigate collaboration and teamwork in an intense, deadline driven environment. During this week, students work 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on their project with hands-on mentoring of the Instructors, followed by teamwork back in the dorms. The teams present their interim work, where the students first experience faculty critique. This week ends with Family Weekend, where each team shows their game along with a formal presentation on their process, their challenges, their learnings and their successes.
The Second Project lasts three weeks. In this project the teams are first shuffled by the faculty to maximize each student’s potential for success based on our observations of their performance in the Lightning Round. This game is an all-original idea, using any technology available at the ETC, designed to become a portfolio piece the student could use in the college admission process. This project begins with a pitch process where the team presents three ideas to the faculty. One is selected and the team builds it from scratch, using the expertise they acquired in the Lightning Round combined again with hand-on mentoring by the faculty. These three weeks also run 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and as before students continue working on their projects in the dorms. Faculty again critiques the projects, and the students learn deep life-long lessons about the nature of collaborative creation during these weeks.
