Build Games People Actually Want to Play
Most programming courses teach syntax. We teach you how to think like a game designer while coding mobile experiences that matter. Starting June 2026, join our intensive program where every line of code serves a purpose.

Learning That Moves Beyond Theory
We've spent years refining what actually works when teaching game development. Not memorizing functions or copying tutorials. Real learning happens when you understand why a mechanic feels right to players.
Our students come from different backgrounds. Some studied computer science. Others are self-taught. What matters isn't where you start—it's whether you're curious about what makes games engaging and willing to iterate until you get there.
Each cohort runs for eight months. You'll spend that time building, testing with real users, and rebuilding. By the end, you won't just know how to code—you'll understand how to create experiences that people choose to return to.

What You'll Actually Build
We structure learning around real projects that grow in complexity. Each module introduces new technical concepts through games you'll finish and polish.
Core Mechanics
Start with touch input, collision detection, and basic physics. Build a complete arcade-style game while learning fundamental programming patterns that scale.
User Psychology
Why do players abandon games in the first minute? Study retention patterns and design tutorials that teach without boring. Test your theories with real users.
Progression Systems
Design reward loops, unlock systems, and difficulty curves. Create a puzzle game where each level teaches players something new about your mechanics.
Performance Optimization
Mobile devices have constraints. Learn profiling, memory management, and rendering tricks that keep your games smooth on various hardware.
Monetization Ethics
Build sustainable revenue without dark patterns. Implement ads and in-app purchases in ways that respect your players and comply with platform guidelines.
Capstone Project
Spend your final eight weeks designing, building, and launching your own original game. We'll support you through soft launch and initial user acquisition.
How We Actually Teach
Lectures don't stick. What works is building something, watching players struggle with it, then figuring out why and fixing it. That cycle—build, test, iterate—is how you internalize both code and design.
You'll work in our space three days a week. The other days are for independent work, but mentors are always available online when you get stuck.
Weekly playtesting sessions with people outside the program who give honest feedback
Code reviews from developers who've shipped games with millions of downloads
Access to analytics tools and testing platforms used by professional studios
Support finding your first opportunities after graduation through our industry connections
Perspectives From Past Students
Hearing what the experience was actually like matters more than our marketing copy.
"I came in knowing Python but nothing about game loops or state management. What surprised me was how much time we spent on player experience rather than just technical implementation. Now when I code, I'm always thinking about who's going to use this."

2025 Graduate, Now Junior Developer
"The hardest part wasn't learning the code—it was accepting that my first version of everything was going to be rough. Watching testers get confused by my tutorial taught me more than any lecture could. By month six, I'd developed this instinct for what would work."

What Happens After
Some graduates join studios. Others freelance or start their own projects. A few discover they prefer adjacent roles like game design or QA. All of those paths are valid, and we support each one differently.
What we can't promise is employment. The industry is competitive, and results vary widely based on your work, timing, and circumstances beyond anyone's control.
What we can do is prepare you thoroughly and connect you with people who might help. The rest is up to you.
