Do you dream about making your own games? Are you curious as to how games are put together? Then Game Design is the line for you! Here you will be able to put your creativity and ideas into practice.


This is a subject for you who want to make your own games, learn about today’s game industry and the possibilities that exist out there.You are curious as to how games are created and what makes them such good entertainment. Your creative and analytical faculties will be developed, you will get to know people who work with game development and you will leave the school with your own game portfolio.


At Sunnhordland Folkehøgskule we take gaming seriously and aim to give you an insight into all aspects of the subject. We focus on engines that allow us to make games fast so that afterwards we can fine tune them and establish what works well and what needs to be changed.

To begin with, we make classic 2D arcade / retro games before concentrating 3D with Unity3D.

You will learn to plan your development processes, write design documents and how to test your ideas effectively.
