Game Development Mastery Program

We're launching something different in autumn 2025 – a hands-on program where you'll build actual mobile games while learning the craft. No theoretical fluff, just real development work guided by people who've shipped games that millions have played.

Reserve Your Spot

What You'll Actually Build

Forget about hello-world tutorials. Our students create portfolio-worthy games that demonstrate real skills to potential employers. Think puzzle mechanics that hook players, character systems that feel responsive, and monetization strategies that actually work.

Core Game Logic

Master the fundamentals of game loops, state management, and player input handling through practical projects.

Mobile Optimization

Learn performance techniques specific to mobile hardware constraints and battery life considerations.

UI/UX for Games

Design interfaces that players actually want to use, from menu systems to in-game HUD elements.

Publishing Pipeline

Navigate app store requirements, testing processes, and post-launch update strategies.

Learning Through Real Projects

We tried the traditional classroom approach and honestly, it didn't work. Students memorized concepts but couldn't build anything meaningful. So we flipped everything – now you learn by doing, with support when you hit roadblocks that every developer faces.

Weekly Code Reviews

Get detailed feedback on your actual game code, not just theoretical assignments.

Industry Connections

Meet working developers from Malaysia's growing game development scene.

Portfolio Development

Build 3-4 polished games that demonstrate different aspects of mobile development.

Career Guidance

Navigate job applications, interview prep, and freelance opportunities in the region.

Program Timeline

Our next cohort starts October 2025, with applications opening this summer. The program runs for six months, giving you time to build substantial projects while managing other commitments.
