Course Overview
The mobile game app market has seen explosive growth in recent years, generating significant economic returns. For instance, the Japanese developer GungHo's Puzzle & Dragons earned up to $4 million in a single day. More recently, Vietnamese independent developer Dong Nguyen created Flappy Bird in just a few days, which brought him a daily income of $50,000. His success demonstrates that with fundamental skills and boundless creativity, individuals can achieve great success in game development. This course is designed to cultivate aspiring game development talents in Macau. Upon completion, students will be able to create small-scale games independently, such as Flappy Bird, Snake, and Space Invaders.
