DATE: Thursday the 17th of March.

The topic of the Workshop will be the Level Game Creation, from the creation and the structure in Engine of a standard level with coding interactions to the graphics. Matched together these two elements will bring to a more playable and enjoyable complete level of the dynamics and the aesthetics.

ANDREA BONSIGNORE
Since he was a boy Andrea Bonsignore has been interested in digital world. For this reason he took up the path in coding as a self-taught person during the junior high school years and at the same time he has been able to insert himself into some professional companies alongside the course of his studies.
His career into the videogame development world began in January 2015 with the foundation of the core team of “InvaderGames”. His role is to fulfil the administrative position of CEO and Co Founder, otherwise, in the technical part, he is the Lead Developer of the coding team of IG.

ABSTRACT
The workshop will be dived into different parts that will go along the attendees through the crucial steps of a Game Level creation :
– basis on the interactions of graphics and coding in a level using Unreal Engine 4
-explanation of how to set up the Code Layer divided between Level and Kernel and how to create debug tools for the real time use
-explanation of how to prepare meshes and game backgrounds replacing the basic Layout and, at the end, how to combine coding and graphics to complete the level.
