What Happens When You Actually Finish

These developers went from sketching ideas to shipping games. Here's what they learned along the way.

"I spent months building a puzzle game that looked pretty but was boring to play. The program taught me why players quit after 30 seconds and how to fix it."

Indie Developer, Brisbane

"The monetization module completely changed how I think about free-to-play games. I learned how to add value without making players feel manipulated."

Marcus Blackwood
Game Developer, Sydney

From Idea to Published Game

Most game development courses teach you how to code. We teach you how to build games that people actually want to play. The difference matters more than you might think.

  • User psychology and what makes players stick around past the tutorial
  • Monetization strategies that feel natural, not predatory
  • Analytics setup to understand why players quit (and how to prevent it)
  • Publishing and marketing on app stores that actually get downloads
  • Live operations - keeping games profitable after launch
