We’ve moved onto creating games on the “Digital Worlds – Interactive Media and Game Design” course now. You can download Balloon Buster (one of the games created with GameMaker from YoYo Games) using the ‘My Files’ widget on this blog. I went, as you can tell, for a dark and brooding look-and-feel.
Louise Heatley has also created a “Catch the Bat“game as part of the course.

Tony Hurst from the Open University has started to blog a course called “Digital Worlds – Interactive Media and Game Design“.
This experimental course aims to give a greater understanding of how interactive media and computer games work and intends to cover technical basics, the development process, and marketing and distribution dimensions amongst other things.
I’m hooked – writing computer games (with an educational slant these days) is an interest of mine anyway, the idea of blogging a ten week course is fascinating in itself, and Tony has even managed to weave The Cult into his teaching materials. Pure genius.
