VTC General Director said that up to now, because people only understand games as entertainment, the space for games has become narrow. He gave the definition of game+ and game+++ so that people can understand games as a miniature society in the virtual world.
Games can be expanded to other fields, and may be the future of education. Typically in learning history, instead of teaching in a dry traditional way, the lesson can be transformed into a game with historical content so that students can absorb it faster.
Besides, the game can solve practical problems. For example, some real-world problems that cannot be solved yet can be put into virtual space for testing first, then converted to space. real.
Returning to the game industry training, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Bao said that in Vietnam, games are considered an industry so a profession has been formed, but there is no formal training and certification facility for the game profession. . Therefore, for the industry to develop in the long term, it is necessary to conduct systematic training. For a game product, the game design stage is the most important, but in Vietnam, this stage is still weak, so training needs to start from this stage.
Sharing the same opinion, Dr. Cao Minh Thang, Deputy Director of CDiT Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology, presides over the development of the game design and development program, also sharing survey data for 3 years. Recently, Vietnam’s game design capacity is still limited.
The domestic game industry mainly imports, edits, releases or designs simple, trend-following, less creative game lines. Along with that, design and development technology is still outdated, focusing too much on mobile games. Domestic developers have not yet taken advantage of the strengths of new technology, especially AI, even though this topic has been talked about a lot in recent times.
Therefore, to reach the billion-dollar goal, the gaming industry needs an intensive training program. Over the past two years, the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology has researched and developed training programs with the support of departments, branches, and large companies.
In 2024, the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology will be the first university in Vietnam to provide formal training in the game industry, focusing on two main areas: script design and game development. The curriculum will build solid interdisciplinary foundational knowledge, historical knowledge of civilization and culture for students to design stories, balance, game economy, AI applications…
At Vietnam GameVerse 2024, the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology announced cooperation with large businesses in the gaming industry to train high-quality personnel.
Meanwhile, VTC Game Academy Center also launched and signed cooperation agreements with units with formal training systems and extensive experience in the field of digital content training such as the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology, Cao Bang University, and the High School. College of Information and Communications and the world’s leading technology companies such as Google to train game industry personnel.
