Serious Play Academy Pivec Workshop Order

Create
Serious Games
Without Coding

One
of our most popular pre-conference speakers, Dr. Paul Pivec of Pivec Labs,
has agreed to offer his Create Serious Games without Coding workshop this spring. 
Attendees
will be guided through a rapid
development process for a serious game using
only a drag and drop techniques. This valuable
day that will provide the basic knowledge and
transferable skills attendees can use to make
a serious digital game on any platform. 
Used within education, by indie developers and commercial companies, Unity with the
Game Creator plugin enables anyone to drag and drop highly efficient and functional code into
their project. This allows anyone, from students and teachers through to commercial developers
to decrease their timeline to focus on the aesthetics, mechanics, and learning outcomes of the
resulting product.

Game Creator can also be used as a teaching tool for the programming process. With scripting
modules called triggers, conditions, and actions, users can learn about programming logic with
variables, collisions, and loops, but only if this is a desired outcome. However, much of this
logic will become obvious while using the Game Creator plugin.

This workshop will be engaging and informative and most of all, the attendees will learn easy to
use computer-based tools that will let them create their own serious digital game. Game Creator
is required for this workshop and can be purchased from the Unity Asset store.

All participants will be provided with the digital assets needed to complete this workshop,
totalling over $100 in value, plus a workbook detailing all the examples.
