Odiei esta cadeira. Parece que era tipo voltar a ter portugues com os mil pdfs que era para escrever. Facam o vosso prototipo uma porcaria ou entao vao dizer que nao tiveram evolucao (tipo um import de uma gajo q se mexa e dizerem q estao a testar os controlos é perfeito o q acho ridiculo).

The reviews below this point may be outdated. Course content, teaching methods, and requirements may have changed since then.

For gaming students, MDJ is a must-take - but I guess I don't need to say much about that. It's literally called 'Game Development Methodology,' and I think it's the direct continuation of Game Design.

The Professors are the same: Rui Prada and Carlos Martinho, both super cool.

You end up literally developing a game, and at the end, there's the 'Game Showcase', which is essentially like a gaming conference where people can try your game and provide...
