Lead Instructor
Fifteen years building mobile titles, from indie launches to studio work. I've shipped games that flopped and games that found their audience.
Most courses throw theory at you and hope it sticks. We don't do that. You'll build actual game mechanics from week one. Not tutorials you follow blindly – real problem-solving where you figure things out with guidance.
I started teaching in 2019 after watching too many talented people give up because courses made everything seem either impossibly complex or unrealistically simple. Neither approach works.
My background includes work on casual puzzle games, action titles, and educational apps. Some reached millions of players. Others taught me what not to do.
What matters more than my CV is how I approach teaching – breaking down complex systems into manageable pieces, then showing you how they connect.
Our autumn programme runs over 24 weeks. You'll work on three progressively complex projects, get individual code reviews, and join weekly problem-solving sessions where we tackle real development challenges together.
Things I wish someone had told me when I started. These aren't comprehensive guides – just practical starting points that actually matter.
Your first game doesn't need a compelling narrative. Focus on making one core interaction feel good. Polish that until it's genuinely fun to repeat. Everything else builds from there.
Learn Git basics before you write serious code. It feels like extra work initially but saves you from disaster later. Every professional developer uses it – there's no shortcut around this one.
Emulators lie. What runs smoothly on your desktop might chug on actual phones. Get a mid-range Android device and test constantly. Performance problems caught early are easier to fix.
Our programme mirrors actual studio workflows. You'll face the same decisions professional developers encounter – performance trade-offs, design compromises, scope management.
Each module includes project work that builds on previous skills. By week twelve, you'll have a functional prototype. By week twenty-four, a polished game ready for submission.
