Video Game Design/Developers

What are your goals for your program this year?

_____________________

I have two big goals:

1. I really want to modernize my Unity course. I have been really living on Create with Code as my intro unit, but it is really showing it's age and I fear it will never get updated.
2. I really want to get my students and their work out in the community more. Submitting to shows, going out to feeder schools, touring some colleges. Updating our itch.io page stuff like that.

Goal- my 5 person class of Game Design 2 this year (same class period as my biggest Game Design 1 class) is going to all tackle a team project build (their idea, not mine).

I find myself being way too ambitious... and, of course, never know where to start to make these thing happen. Here is my current dilemma and extreme learning challenge:

1. Game Design 2 needs version control and online sharing options for team project with 5 seats. Current options (none of which I have ever used):
   1. Unity DevOps (3 seats and 5GB free) must buy online with credit card only (so many issues with this in my district, and right now could to a LONG time to get this done)
   2. Git (just starting to look at what this does)
   3. GitHub (I have campus program but looking for what are my limits? <GB, Seats, etc.>)
   4. BitBucket (just starting to look at this option)

If anyone has insight to any of these please send my way! Happy to entertain other options if anyone has tried something different successfully.

Game Design 1 GOALS- I really just want everyone to have FUN- hard part is getting student to talk and discuss what fun means to them. They know what they like but still cannot articulate/verbalize this idea. Thoughts welcome.

Brian- have you looked into Unity's Visual Scripting?

Brendan,

Thank you, this was great advice. I just got the credit card setup for Unity DevOps in their Cloud (So complicated). I will spend time learning this and then ditch it for GitHub probably next year (gotta find a better solution as this process with the district was super intense). Can I get the link to the video tutorial you had them use?

Brian, 

"Old man" hilarious since we are all blazing new trails and learning new things constantly. Great thoughts on not suing Visual Scripting, this does however work well as an option for kids that are really struggling with code (at least in my classes).
