We have over 11 years experience in the delivery of dedicated games courses. We have a large number of staff who are passionate about games and dedicated to teaching the subject. Our team includes a balance of academic and industrial experience. Members of the team have worked in AAA studios, have run their own studios, have authored books and are conducting international-facing research. The programme covers games analysis and games design, platforms and technologies, content production, testing, usability and playability, sales and marketing, and games production. It provides a broad study of games, with an emphasis on innovation, design and creativity rather than the programming and technical aspects. The focus is team-based projects, with regular critique sessions with your peers and members of the games team. You will be taught by enthusiastic staff who actually play games! In addition, our staff include industry experts who know exactly what is required for a career in games design. Our facilities include dedicated games labs including quad processor PCs installed with current games development environments, state-of-the-art 3D graphics cards, XBOX 360s and Playstation 3s ensuring you have access to the tools you need to create a high quality portfolio of work ready to impress potential employers.</span></span></div>

You’ll be supported in developing, designing, planning and creating game ideas and concepts. You’ll also have the opportunity to produce and integrate artwork and graphical assets for computer games. We introduce current issues and ideas and emerging technologies used by the games industry throughout the course. The games courses benefit from our industry partnerships and we run an active programme of industry guest speakers. Previous speakers have included art directors, animators, illustrators and designers who work freelance and from companies including Rockstar, Formerdroid and Realtime UK. This course offers you the chance to spend a year working in industry and we have a Placement Unit team that can support you in your search for a placement position. The University also has a number of placement positions are available in our in-house games development studio to help facilitate this. Our ‘Canalside Studios’ gives placement students the opportunity to work as part of a team developing games for a range of platforms including Xbox Live Arcade, iPhone and Android. Past students have also developed software with the NHS, The Royal Armouries and the West Yorkshire Fire Service. Alternatively, if you are a student from within the UK or the EU, you could consider starting your own small business by applying for the Enterprise Placement Year in conjunction with the University’s Enterprise Team.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;">Press and Media is a huge part of the gaming industry. When a game is released it is released to the press a couple of days before just so they can give the game a review and they say what they think of the game, Most of the press are either good at giving the games positive reviews. The media is another huge part of the gaming industry, The biggest games that are out in the months they are all released in the coming months are all advertised in gaming magazines and are highly advertised on You-tube videos.</span><br />

This means that if the three major console makers hope to succeed this coming generation, they will have to learn to adapt in a rapidly changing market. The current generation of consoles saw the beginning of this transition. Applications for Netflix, along with Xbox music and other media apps, have turned gaming consoles into media centers. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 22.8267px;">Even though consoles cannot be upgraded like PC’s and will inevitably become outdated, they are still very important to the gaming industry. One of the biggest features and draws of video game consoles are the exclusive games. This being said most major games are tailored to run on video game consoles.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.48px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 22.8267px;">Since most major games are built to run on consoles then video game consoles are really setting the standard for what systems all video games are being built for. Having new consoles not only affects the capabilities of the consoles themselves but it also affects the types of games that are released on PC as well. Sony and Xbox do plan to release their next generation consoles i.e PlayStation 5 and what ever xbox come up with next , respectively. So, I think this would be a huge advantage for the Console companies because people are definitely going to buy and experience something new that the console companies promise to provide.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 22.8267px;">Unlike generations past, consoles no longer compare to high-end gaming PCs. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 22.8267px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With it being impossible to keep up in terms of power, consoles must continue to focus on their unique features. But some of the major aspects that give the consoles an extra edge are the motion sensors (Xbox Kinnect, PlayStation Move etc). They have revolutionised the gaming experience but according to personal opinion, they have not enhanced or made the gameplay experience better that much. Regardless</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 22.8267px;">.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 22.8267px;">The latest piece of hardware at the moment is VR with oculus releasing pretty early for PC owners now and with the release of the HTC vive early 2016 and with both Sony and Microsoft announcing something to do with VR there will probably be a battle about that in the coming years. For years games developers are assigned to 1 console like the makers of Halo is assigned to Microsoft and Naughty Dog only make games for sonys consoles, this has been a big argument for quite a while and this is so people who enjoy Halo will buy the Xbox consoles and people who like Naughty Dogs games will buy Sony's consoles, there will always be a game assigned to one console even if it is something like the Fifa games, These games have been out every year and from the start of Fifa 15 Electronic Arts announced Legend's for there ultimate team however you may only get these legends on Xbox only. Another example is the Call of Duty franchise, for years Call of Duty has announced that there DLC map packs will be available 30 days on Xbox than Playstation so people who really enjoyed that series will buy that console so they dont have to wait an extra month to play the new maps however with the release of Black Ops 3 the 30 day exclusivity has gone over to Playstation this has caused a lot of people to purchase a playstation console. </span></span><br />

<u><b><br /></b></u><u><b>contractual</b></u><br />
<u><b><br /></b></u><b><u>Employmen</u></b><b><u>t</u></b><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">An Employment contract is an agreement between the employer and employee. the contract of employment denotes a relationship of economic dependence and social subordination, for example an employer will agree to pay a certain wage, as well as treat the employee with proper respect and fairness, while the employee will agree to complete their given tasks to the extent of the contractual agreement as well as treat their employer with respect.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b>Development</b></u><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Within the Games industry, it is common for publishers to hire game developers to create games.When this happens, the two companies form a development agreement in the form of a contract. This agreement states the terms, ownership and warranties regarding the game in development.</span><br />
<u style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b></b></u><br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">For example, within the terms, it will be decided how much the publisher will pay the developer to create the game and whether or not their will be royalties or what the rate of royalties will be.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Ownership: who owns the IP (Intellectual property) the developers or the publishers? This can be essential to both parties. If the IP is successful, ownership can be an asset to both parties, as the party with ownership of the IP will then be able to continue producing related merchandise without input from, or payment to the other party.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Warranties: This is an agreement which binds the developers to using only the source code which they have created, while also binding the publishers to only asking the developers to create a game which they have the rights to.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b><br /></b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b>License</b></u></div>
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">When a publisher wishes to have a game made about a movie, tv show, toys, etc.. The publisher and the owner of the IP make up a contract which specifies the details of the license.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">These details spell out what the publisher can and can't do with the IP. For example, the publisher may only be able to use certain characters or locations from the IP within their game.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">However, it can also affect which platforms the IP owner is willing to allow the game to be published on, PS Vita, Wii U, etc..</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The territories in which the game is released can also be part of the license, for example: The game could be released within Europe, but not the USA.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">There is also a term for how long the contract will last. They don't normally run longer than five years. After this term has ended, the license holder no longer has the right to produce merchandise related to the licensed</span><br />
<div>
<u style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b><br /></b></u></div>
<div>
<u style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b>NDA</b></u><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">An NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) is designed to ensure that confidential information is not leaked to the public by a second party. For example, if a developer were to outsource another development studio, an NDA would have to be agreed upon by this second development studio in order to ensure that they do not divulge confidential information to the public, Gameplay systems, the games story or even the games title are good examples.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This is also true in the case of a Closed Beta. A Closed Beta is a portion of a video game which a game developer or publisher has released to a select few in order to test out a video game, reveal bugs and generally ensure that it is fun. These tests are essential to the development of a video game, but could be catastrophic for the games financial success if information is leaked so early.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A collaboration agreement would be used in a situation which involves an indie developer, or someone who creates games as a hobby. It is used to figure out the ownership and compensation involved in creating a game.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A collaboration agreement is designed to clearly state who owns the IP, who does what, who gets what, the way the IP will be used, and how the project will end.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">IP (Intellectual Property) is a term used to describe many different types of creations originating from a persons imagination. </span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Under intellectual law, owners of IP's are granted exclusive rights to intangible assets such as, Music, literacy and art, etc.. </span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Within the gaming industry an IP can range from being a single piece of artwork to an entire franchise, therefore the ownership of an IP can be everything to a publisher. It is not uncommon for IP's to be sold on to other publishers or developers, this has happened with many popular IP's such as, "Crash Bandicoot" and "Spyro the Dragon".</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Sometimes after an IP has been out for a while they tend to reboot the game. This meaning they make new concept artwork and redesign all the characters. A good example for would be Devil May Cry, With devil may cry they redesigned there main character and redesigned all there enemies.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A patent is basically the function of a product, in the gaming industry this could be related to a publishers/developers game play mechanics.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Without the permission of the patent inventor, others can not recreate and then sell on a product of the same function, it would need to have notable differences to set it apart from the original patent.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">However much like an IP, patents can be sold on or rented out. This can lead to many variations of the same patent across the market.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Within the Gaming industry, a good example of this would be the "Unreal Engine" This is a game engine which many developers have used to make various games, however despite this, these games can still be easily set apart.</span><br />

<br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Registered designs are the eye candy of the whole IP package, they can be the promotional artwork for the game, the box art or any related art work.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Registered Designs allow publishers/developers to give the consumer or even a developer an idea of how they envision the game, this allows the consumer to summarise for themselves what the game will be like from these designs, while also inspiring the developer who is creating the game.</span></div>

<br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Violence is a common part of video games today. Many people believe that by playing violent games, the player can also become influenced by it and therefore become violent themselves.</span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Violence is demonstrated in many forms within video games, from the firearm based battles of "Call of Duty" to the stealthy assassination style of "Assassins Creed". It is not uncommon for certain individuals to blame their behaviour on something which they have seen in a game. In fact, there was a case on the release day of "Grand Theft Auto V" in which a gang of youths attacked and stole from another youth in order to gain his copy of "Grand Theft Auto V". Their reasoning behind the attack? "It's what the main character from Grand Theft Auto would have done."</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">PEGI (</span><span class="st" style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><i>Pan European Game Information) </i>ratings are used to aid parents/guardians in picking an appropriate video game for their children. It does this via a range of age listings and icons which represent the content of the game. These days it is now illegal to sell a video games to children who are not old enough to meet the PEGI rating of said game.</span><br />
<span class="st" style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><span class="st" style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Despite the PEGI rating system, it is not uncommon for those who do not meet the PEGI ratings to acquire video games which are deemed inappropriate towards their age group. In many cases, parents themselves will purchase these games for their children, thus it isn't uncommon to hear a 7 year old during an online multiplayer match of "Call of Duty" an 18+ rated game.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Gaming is generally stereotyped as being a guy thing, therefore it is quite common for most video games to be aimed at a male audience.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">However in today's age of gaming there is a wide range of developers, both male and female who are creating games for all sorts of people regardless of their age, ethcic or gender.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Therefore despite games such as "God of War", "Assassins Creed" and "Call of Duty" being aimed at a male audience, it is not uncommon for a female audience to be present, and vice versa.. Games such as "Viva Piñata", "Dance Central" and "Little Big Planet" which are aimed towards a female audience, a male audience is also present.</span></div>

<u style="text-align: start;"><b>Addiction</b></u><br />
<br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="text-align: start;">Like many things, playing video games has become an addiction for many people. For some the chance to escape the real world and engulf themselves within a world where effort and patience will always result in progression is irresistible. </span><br />
<br style="text-align: start;" />
<span style="text-align: start;">A video game addiction, like most addictions is not a good thing. It can cause people to lose out on more important things, such as social activities, relationships and even work.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span class="st" style="text-align: start;">Education can also be found within video games. In a subtle manner from things such as the settings of video games, "Assassins Creed II - The Italian Renaissance" Then there are games which are directed towards providing an education, "Brain Training". These are the positives of education from video games, however, there are also negatives..</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span class="st" style="text-align: start;"><br /></span><span style="text-align: start;"></span><span class="st" style="text-align: start;">These are inherently covered by the PEGI rating system, but can include drugs, bad language and violence.
