learning agreements

Norwich University of the Arts

Learning Agreement

Course and Unit Number: BA6

Name: Charlie Harrison

Proposal:  What do you intend to do?

What: I will produce a game prototype showing progression from user feedback also I will be creating a games design document to follow alongside this game

Why: I want to explore crafting a game from a genre utilizing different mechanics within a game engine to see interesting new ways how to engage the player within the game as well as using user feedback to improve the mechanics of further.

How: The game be will display these different mechanics and through game play will interact with the player in various different ways this will be shown through the game prototype and also elaborated through the game's design document

Assessment Work:

1 3D game prototype

1 8-13 paged games designed documents

1 Research blog

1 Evaluation

BA6: what I will be aiming for

BA6 project

For this project and aim to do similar work to what I did within the BA4 project. this will mean that I will aim to create a prototype game constantly updating it through user feedback and also create games design documents listing key features an element of the game that could be shown to outside audiences so that they could understand different elements and key features within the game. There is a list of the work that I aimed to produce by the end of project.

Prototype game (with different innovations and improvements)

Games design documents (highlighting all the main elements of the game)

Research blog (showing all research I've done into this project)

500 word evaluation of the project



BA6: new project (CS)


BA6: Collaboration, audience and employability (CS)

For this project will be looking into how games can affect different people. Would be looking into various difference types of games for example educational or political to see how they gauge players and teach them information. we'll also be exploring the idea that games can convey a more meaningful method and that how this could change a person's opinion about a particular political issue or even social issue.




for this project I'm feeling a little more sceptical than I  out for. As personally I don't think that one game can have such a massive impact on someone's views upon a certain issue bought it be good to explore through research  if it has affected others and would be an interesting topic to delve into.

BA6: New Project


BA6: Collaboration, audience and employability

For our the brief of BA6 we have been given the opportunity to choose between different areas of work that we have worked than previously. Whether this be concept that are games design or even alternatives.


with this brief I think that I will find it more enjoyable than previous ones as it  allows more freedom within the work. It also allows me to maybe improve upon different aspects of my work. I would definitely like to explore the game design element within this project as when I did my project in BA4 I enjoyed the work.
