Your hosts Ben Tristem and Brice Fernandes are both avid gamers, and coding nuts. You'll create your very own game during the day, and gain the confidence to teach yourself game development.
Who is this for?
Anyone over about 10 who wants to make computer games. If you've never programmed before, we'll walk you through the basics. If you're an artist, we'll show you how to bring your assets alive in a game. If you're a coder, you'll learn how to transfer your skills to game development.
If you've always wanted to get into game development, or have a retro game you'd love to recreate, now's your chance!
