A viva voce is conducted by an external expert on the final project and practical experience gained during his/her Project.
Game Production Post Mortem and Review
The objective of a Game Postmortem is to document what went right and what went wrong during the project.The lessons learned along the way will be communicated to others so that they can repeat the successful parts of the development process, and avoid the pitfalls you encountered along the way.
Students will be led through a post mortem review by having them explain the type of game, the goals of the game, the intended audience, and any specific technologies or features that you wanted to build into it that would set it apart from the competition. Tools, software and hardware used in the project development along with what worked and did not. Then a discussion about the development team and the team dynamics.
