What We Offer

Hands-on courses designed by Toronto indie game developers who ship games for real

Game Design Fundamentals

Master the core principles that make games engaging. You’ll learn mechanics, level design, player psychology, and how to prototype your ideas. Perfect for beginners with zero experience—we start from scratch and build up to creating your first playable prototype in 8 weeks.

  • Game mechanics and systems design
  • Level design principles
  • Playtesting and iteration
  • Design documentation

Unity Game Development

Build complete 2D and 3D games using the industry-standard Unity engine. This course assumes you know how to code and focuses on game-specific workflows. Over 12 weeks, you’ll develop physics systems, UI, and publish your game to real platforms.

  • C# scripting for games
  • Physics and collision systems
  • User interface design
  • Platform deployment

Indie Studio Production

Learn how small studios actually work—from planning a project to shipping it. We cover scope management, team workflows, marketing your game, and dealing with the real constraints of indie development. Based on lessons from our own shipped titles.

  • Project planning and scoping
  • Team collaboration workflows
  • Marketing and audience building
  • Post-launch support

Narrative Design for Games

Write stories that fit interactive experiences. Unlike film or books, game narratives branch, loop, and respond to player choices. Learn to structure dialogue, design branching narratives, and integrate story with gameplay in a 6-week focused track.

  • Dialogue and character writing
  • Branching story design
  • Story and gameplay integration
