In this course, the student will develop their butchery skills. A basic knowledge of terminology and skills is essential to get the most out of the meat you process. Butchery requires excellent technique and skill. This isn’t something you can solve intuitively, but with instruction and repetition before you begin to understand that the meat is separated from the bone, that the cuts we recognize on the plate are hidden in a piece of raw product. Students will learn how to cut the meat, how to remove it from the bones, how to clean the bones without breaking the bones, with the training they will receive on all poultry, many shelled, flat, round sea products, large and small red meat.

The course "Drawing and Clay Modeling" offers a dynamic exploration of artistic expression using two diverse mediums: drawing and clay modeling. Students commence their artistic journey by engaging in a range of sketching tasks, refining their abilities to accurately depict shapes, textures, and viewpoints. By utilizing these sketches as a creative basis, pupils subsequently develop their ultimate ideas for clay sculpting.

Through the translation of their drawings into conceptual concepts, students initiate the process of converting their thoughts into physical clay artworks. Utilizing their recently acquired expertise in clay sculpting, they painstakingly transform their concepts into tangible creations, integrating intricate elements, textures, and three-dimensional shapes.

The lesson focuses on the interdependent connection between drawing and clay modeling. Drawing serves as the trigger for the process of ideation, while clay serves as the medium through which these ideas materialize into exceptional sculptures. The process of moving from first ideas to the final clay sculptures facilitates a thorough comprehension of form, composition, and the profound ability of artistic expression to bring about change.

The purpose of this course is to introduce the students to the distinct features of the narrative form. Students will receive a basic critical vocabulary to aid in the appropriate interpretation of narrative texts and learn how storytelling serves as an essential technique for advancing digital games. To identify themes and techniques for their game concepts, students will be challenged to assess and understand various story approaches while considering several historical and modern games. In this course, students will understand how established narrative techniques, like the three-act structure, work in games and how to incorporate them into gaming strategy. In the end, students will discover how to specify character, environment, and structure to produce an engaging game concept.

This course is designed for game students and introduces the fundamentals of programming using C#.

Topics include programming syntax, variables, data types, operators, conditional statements, loops, functions, Array with practical applications in game development using Unity.

This course introduces students to the fundamentals of game-level design that centers on the creation of playable spaces.

 This course aims to familiarize students with the essentials of 3D modeling methods. Within the scope of the course, the basic components of 3D design such as 3D geometric shapes, texture, surface channels and surface mapping, procedural textures, image mapping, light types and settings, camera settings and use, lighting as well as a variety of rendering options, including ray-tracing will be examined. Students will be expected to develop original projects using related software. Students will prepare portfolios using 3D techniques, and through this practice, they will have experienced the modeling process from design to the end product.

The 3D Animation for Game Design course is designed to teach students an overview of developing 3D animation techniques from modeling to rendering. Students will learn the basics of surfacing, lighting, animation, and modeling techniques and will explore volumetrics, and modifiers. By the end of the semester, the students will have created several short films, advertisements, and public service announcements. 3D Animation is a filmmaking technique whereby motion is created with picture frames coming one after another instead of using a simple recording technique. The course particularly emphasizes the creation of game animation using computers. The course is designed to have both theoretical subjects and practical applications using suitable computer software.

 For the second graduation project, students will continue to develop and enhance the game prototypes they created in the first graduation project.

Oyun Tasarımı İçin Psikoloji dersi, hem genel insan psikolojisinin, hem de bilişsel psikolojinin temel kavramlarına ve bu kavramların çeşitli dijital oyun fenomenleri aracılığıyla dijital oyunlara uygulanmasına odaklanır. Bu derste amaçlanan, beynin nörobiyolojik işleyiş biçimini temel alarak, insan psişesinin işlevsel boyutlarına odaklanmak suretiyle, öğrencilerin beynin nasıl çalıştığına dair bir
anlayış edinmelerini sağlamaktır. Ders kapsamında daha sonra, strateji geliştirme, seçim yapma, dikkat ve öğrenmenin temeli ile bağlantılı olarak, öğrencilere bir oyun üretirken bilmeleri gereken konular olarak insanların bilgileri nasıl işlediğine, kodladığına, depoladığına ve geri aldığına ilişkin temel hususlar sunulacaktır. Son olarak ders kapsamında bağlanma teorileri, eğlence, kullanıcı
deneyimi, oyun deneyimi, oyunun sezgisel etkileri ve akış teorisi gibi oyun odaklı konular ele alınacaktır.
