How to create 2D game assets?
How to create 2D sprites and sprite animations?
How to use 3D and other assets in a game engine?
How to use terrain tools to create 3D environments?
How to code basic interactions?

Course material
Lectures, videos, links and tutorials on Learn.
Study forms and methods
You will attend classes according to the given schedule. In addition to class exercises, there will be independently assigned homework tasks.
If you have a comparable previous academic achievement (i.e., a higher education-level course completion), have studied for a year in, for example, a folk high school, and have work samples to present, or if you have skills equivalent to or exceeding the course level, for example, through work experience and have a portfolio to show, you may seek to have the course accredited. However, you must first discuss this with the course instructor.
RDI and work-related cooperation
The core focus is on the basic skills. No work-life co-operation.
Further information
Students complete assignments independently with the help of instructions and video tutorials. In class, a student will receive feedback and deepen their expertise.
