| 3 Prototype | 22. 12. | 50pt | 80pt |
| Create a game prototype in Unity as described in your GDD. Deliver the project in a single .zip file. The zip file must contain: a) The entire Unity project (DO NOT zip the Library folder) The project must be able to compile & build after extracting the build. Use Unity 2022.3 (LTS) release for easier evaluation. All source code should be reasonably commented – parts that are not completely obvious from the code itself. Using external scripts, textures, models etc. is ALLOWED. However, major parts of game mechanics must be created by you. All external code must be marked as such with comments. Team projects must have a project Git repository. Include the corresponding .git directory in the zip (full repository history must be present!). See GitHub, BitBucket or GitLab for free online private repository hosting while developing. b) Final build of the game Deliver a playable build for either Windows (folder with .exe) or Android (apk). c) A file video.txt containing the link to a YouTube gameplay video (see #4 Gameplay video below) How the project is submitted differs based on which faculty you are attending. SUBMISSION FMFI students Send (via email) a Google Drive/Dropbox/OneDrive link to the zip file (or a Git repository). DO NOT use bandwidth limited free file hosting (e.g. uloz.to). Remember that we will download it immediately when received, so altering the files after the submission deadline will have no effect and will not be graded. FIIT students Upload to Google Classroom. You will receive an invite link via email. At least one student in a team project must submit the ZIP file. | |||
| 4 Gameplay Video | 22. 12. | 5pt | 5pt |
