MPI221 World Design and Creation (8)

This subject will examine the process of designing a world or universe for multiplatform situations. It explores the creation of fictional worlds and virtual realms in multiplatform projects based on speculative fictions.  In content generation, students create a design project realisation of imagined multiplatform construction to engage diverse fields, towards an autonomous creative production.
