Frequently asked questions

What if I'm not a programmer or an Artist

We'll cover the basics of Programming, 2D graphics & 3D Modelling; just enough to understand the different roles and how they come together. Whatever your speciality & whatever your level, you'll be able to pick up essential skills & gain insights that will help you pursue a career in Video Games

Is it ok if I bring my kids?

This session is open to anyone, and we'll include a lot of practical exercises, but there is a lot of theory involved, if you think your kids have the passion for it then bring them along, but if you just want to give them an introduction to games development, we do shorter events for pre-teens.

What is I have my own game I've already started making?

Daniel has over ten years consulting others on game design, we'll be using a case study as an example, but we're happy to tailor examples & advice to existing concepts too as long as you're willing to share your idea with the group.

What if I don't have an idea for a game right now but I still want to learn

That's fine! We'll use a case study from the design workshop & recap the process of world building & game design principles & narrative design too. We do this so you also get an idea of what it would be like working in a company with a designer, where you're given parameters to work around.
