3D Game Design 1 & 2

Taught by YouthDigital

Course Details:

An introductory set of game design classes that taught how to create 3D games and worlds with the OWL Game Creator (Youth Digital's modified version of Platinum Sandbox Arts).

3D Game Design 1:

  • Created entire world from the ground up, complete with models, textures, skyboxes, sound effects, liquids, particle effects, and lighting
  • Added checkpoints, teleporters, enemies, platformer levels, powerups, and a final boss

3D Game Design 2:

  • Coded villager, enemy and boss AI, mapped paths, and created custom items
  • Added multiple cutscenes
  • Utilized multiple maps and areas, and coded transitions between different maps
  • Implemented inventory, NPC trading, and dialog trees
  • Exceeded game engine limits to the points where no instructor could provide support


Course Statistics:

  • Final Grades: 30/30 and 30/30
  • Provider: Youth Digital, now Apex Learning
Classes Completed (since Youth Digital was subsumed by Apex Learning, the link is from the latter):
  • 3D Game Design

  • Projects Completed: Because Youth Digital's proprietary platform was subsumed by Apex Learning, only this project's code can be downloaded and viewed
  • Code for 3D Game Design 2 - behaviors and cutscenes are the best folders to look at
