"Game Development with CRYENGINE" Opens at BAU

Crytek's new training program prepares developers in Türkiye for the innovations of the global gaming world. 

As part of their cooperation on game development in our country, Crytek and Bahçeşehir University announced that they will launch the "CRYENGINE Academy" training program. This training program, to be held at Bahçeşehir University, will bring together creative minds in our country and become a center of game development know-how on a global scale.

OPEN TO ALL STUDENTS WITH C++ KNOWLEDGE

As the first step of the "CRYENGINE Academy", in the coming academic year the course "Game Development with CRYENGINE" will be open to all Bahçeşehir University students who want to develop games and have C++ knowledge. Students taking the course will have the chance to see the methods used by professional game developers by applying them in concrete projects on CRYENGINE technology. The course will cover many topics, from the use of Flow Graph to artificial intelligence concepts, and from 3D object and animation tools to the use of positional audio.

Virtual Reality (VR) technology, which is expected to leave its mark on the next 10 years, is also among the main topics to be covered in the training. With Virtual Reality technology, included in a training program for the first time in Türkiye, developers will gain the know-how needed to turn the worlds of their dreams into reality on CRYENGINE. CRYENGINE Creative Director Frank Vitz said: "CRYENGINE Academy will play an important role in making Türkiye a center of attraction in terms of game development know-how and will equip students with an innovative technology such as CRYENGINE."

Frank Vitz will speak at a Virtual Reality-focused event to be held at Bahçeşehir University Galata Campus on Saturday, 11 July, at 12:00.
