FINAL GAME PROJECT

A unique feature of the Karma Play Academy diploma courses is the Final Game Project. This Final Game Project lasts six months.

Unlike a generic, theoretical project offered by traditional universities, our Final Game Project allows all diploma students to be trained as part of an actual commercial video game that is already in production.

This means that all students will get hands-on experience by working on a video game that will be shipping worldwide. The video game will be for the PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

GUEST LECTURES

Our guest lectures are delivered by current games industry artists, writers, programmers and producers from Europe and North America.

Between them, our guest lecturers have shipped hundreds of games on dozens of gaming platforms including some of the earliest gaming hardware like the Atari 2600, Commodore 64 and Sinclair Spectrum ZX.

During these guest lectures, the students will be exposed to a vast array of cutting-edge and highly practical production techniques used to create the latest triple A PC, console games in varied genres such as racing, first person shooter, RPG, RTS and MOBA.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (faq)

Can I study even if I am still working?

Yes. All our courses are designed to enable even working people to study. You just need to be able to set aside enough time every week for your training.

How are the tutorials held?

Most of the weekly software training is through pre-recorded videos. This is augmented by our weekly LIVE Q & A sessions and international guest lectures.

Do I need to come to a specific location to learn?

No. You can study from anywhere in the world as long as you have a fast internet connection and a modern, gaming capable PC.

Can I work on my own video game while I study?

Yes. The middle semester of the one-year certificate course is set aside for all students to work on their own game. You can use this time to create a game demo, which will be part of your portfolio.

If all the software tutorials are via videos, when can I directly interact with the tutors?

This happens during the live weekly Q&A sessions. These sessions are held on weekends and last between two to four hours.

Can I work with one of Karma Play’s game development teams during the Final Game Project?

Yes. That is precisely how the Final Game Project is structured. All our students (artists and programmers) will get the opportunity to work on one of Karma Play’s internal game projects.

What type of games can I work on during the Final Game Project?

At present, Karma Play is working on six different games for the PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, mobiles and Web3. Out of these six games, the first one, Old Skool Racer, has already been announced publicly. The PC version is now available via Steam.

The company also has three PCs, VR simulations, a first-person shooter, and a third person RPG in various stages of development.

Who provides the final certificates?

Do I get anything in addition to the final certificate?
