Summary

Damian Scott, a teacher and freelance game designer at Swinburne, is revolutionizing game design education with his fantasy world, Gond, which is in the public domain. This innovative approach provides Diploma of Information Technology students with valuable resources, enabling them to create publishable games. One group has successfully released Dreamslayer on Steam, while another is set to launch Of Dead Earth. Scott’s method encourages creativity and learning from failures, significantly boosting student success. His program has recently received accreditation from Epic Games, further enhancing the quality of education offered in game art and design at Swinburne.
