Build Games That Actually Work
We're not going to promise you'll land a job at a major studio. What we will do is teach you the practical skills that let you build mobile games from scratch. Some of our students go on to careers in game development. Others build side projects. A few just wanted to understand how their favorite games work.
Talk About Your GoalsLearning by Actually Making Things
Most game development courses throw theory at you for weeks before you touch real code. We start differently. You'll build your first playable prototype in week two. It won't be fancy, but it'll run on your phone.
Our programs run from September through December 2025, giving you four months to work through progressively complex projects. You'll mess up. Everyone does. That's when the real learning happens.
Real Projects
Build actual games, not academic exercises. Your portfolio pieces are things people might want to play.
Small Groups
We cap classes at 12 students. You'll get actual feedback on your work, not generic comments.
Flexible Pace
Life happens. Miss a session and you can catch up with recorded materials and one-on-one help.
Industry Context
Learn what actually matters in Taiwan's mobile game market, not outdated best practices from 2018.
Finding Your Path
Not everyone comes to game development with the same background or goals. Here's how we help you figure out where to start.
Have you written code before?
If you've never touched programming, we start with fundamentals. Not boring theory—you'll write code that moves things around a screen by day three. Previous coding experience? We skip ahead to game-specific patterns.
What kind of games interest you?
Puzzle games have different requirements than action games. We let you specialize after the first month once you understand the basics. Your final project focuses on the genre that matches your interests.
How much time can you commit?
Our standard track assumes 10-12 hours weekly including class time. Working full-time? The extended track spreads the same material over six months with lighter weekly commitments. You'll cover identical content, just at a different pace.
Need help with specific challenges?
Sometimes you're stuck on one particular thing—physics systems, monetization models, performance optimization. We offer focused workshops that run 2-3 weeks. No commitment to a full program required.
What Happens After the Program
These aren't overnight success stories. These are people who finished the program and kept working on their skills. Their paths look pretty different from each other.
Jeroen Bakker
Indie Developer
Completed our standard track while working as a graphic designer. Built a simple endless runner as his final project.
Released his first commercial game on Android. Made enough in the first six months to fund his next project.
Now develops mobile games full-time. Still uses the physics system we covered in class, though he's modified it pretty heavily.
Dmitri Volkov
Technical Team Lead
Joined the program as an experienced web developer wanting to shift into game development. Finished the accelerated track in three months.
Got hired at a mid-size gaming studio in Taipei as a junior developer. Took a pay cut from his previous job but gained relevant industry experience.
Promoted to team lead after shipping two successful titles. Now mentors new developers at his studio using similar teaching methods from our program.
Next Program Starts September 2025
We're taking applications through July for our autumn cohort. Classes meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings, with optional Saturday workshops for project work.
Tuition covers four months of instruction, access to development tools, and continued access to course materials after you finish. We also run a private Discord where alumni help each other with ongoing projects.
Talk with an instructor about whether the program fits your goals. No commitment required.
