Game Dev Workshop

Designed for beginners, the workshop aimed to spark interest in game development, especially among multimedia students, by walking participants through the creative process of building a game from the ground up.

The workshop was led by Muhammad Luqman Hayyan bin Mohd Razif. He won a Gold Medal at DICE 3.0 under the ASEAN Digital Content Summit by MDEC, and is an independent Roblox developer whose game passed 4 million visits. Using Construct 3, a browser-based, no-code game engine, participants learned the interface, created sprites, set up scenes and programmed player movement. They then added physics, game logic through events, and sound design, before exporting and publishing their finished projects. The activities also reinforced topics from the multimedia students’ first-semester syllabus.

Engagement was high throughout, with participants bringing their own creative ideas into their games, and more than half finished a playable 2D platformer by the end of the session. Feedback was very positive, and many attendees asked for future workshops covering more advanced topics and different game genres.
