Micro-credential in Video Game Prototyping Micro-credential is a micro-credential in Digital Media & Game Development programme offered by Okanagan College in Kelowna, Canada. The programme is delivered on campus. Teaching is in English. Tuition is CAD 1,800 per total for local students.
The micro-credential covers the process of building an early, simplified version of a video game in order to test and confirm overall feasibility, gameplay mechanics, and design concepts before significant time and resources go into full-scale development. Prototyping is presented as a way to let developers try out ideas, collect feedback, and spot potential issues or improvements early in the process. The hands-on course combines creative and technical skills aimed at producing prototypes for interactive gaming concepts.
