From dreamer… to a real game developer
An intensive 40-hour program over two weeks for young people aged 16 and up that turns your passion for games into your first published game.
Unlike programs that throw you straight into coding, we built it for everyone who wants to learn — not just programmers. The essence of making games is mastering design fundamentals that let you build any digital game, while AI takes care of simplifying the code.
