DES310 was a module at Abertay that we did in groups. Team members were mixed discipline, coming from different courses. We worked to create a game or project, working with an academic tutor, and a client that would propose the brief for the project. Extracts from the official description can be found below.
For this module, students will be required to work together on an interactive media project as part of a multidisciplinary team. Individual students will be expected to contribute to their team by taking on a professional role suited to their area of study. As part of the module, all students will be expected to: communicate with clients and relevant stakeholders; participate in pitching and presentations; research and test technical pipelines; create project documentation and planning materials; and contribute to the iterative design and development of a final interactive prototype.
The aim of this module is to provide the student with the ability to operate professionally as a subject specialist within a multidisciplinary development team, contributing to planning, presenting, prototyping, and production.
By the end of this module the student should be able to:
- Contribute to the development, testing, enhancement, and completion of a defined interactive media project.
- Demonstrate the ability to fulfil and appraise their own defined professional role within a team, evaluating their contribution in relation to expectations of the comparable role in industry.
- Demonstrate teamwork, communication, and professionalism through collaboration on- and delivery of- a team project.
Team Members: Atanas L; Dominic R; Emma M; Murray G; Maciej W; Nicole B; Vasco F.

The brief we received from them can be found in .docs and you can find builds of the game we made in .builds. The .docs folder contains documents that we shared as a team, for more information and individual portfolios, you will have to contact team members specifically.
