What You'll Actually Learn
Look, game development isn't something you pick up in a weekend. This program breaks down the fundamentals into digestible chunks—spread across 14 weeks so you can absorb concepts properly. We focus on principles that'll stay relevant regardless of which engine or language becomes trendy next year.
-
Core Mechanics & Systems
Understanding game loops, input handling, and state management. You'll build simple prototypes that actually function—even if they're not pretty yet.
-
Visual Design & Asset Integration
Working with sprites, animations, and basic shaders. We'll cover optimization techniques because performance matters from day one.
-
Player Experience Design
Making games that feel good to play involves understanding feedback loops, difficulty curves, and player psychology—not just coding skills.
-
Collaborative Development
Version control, documentation, and working with others. Most games are team efforts, so you need to know how collaboration actually works.
