2D video games are a fundamental piece of the games industry and a constant source of innovation in game design and mechanics. That’s to say nothing about how fun they are to play for hardcore gamers, casual players, and everyone in between.    

This workshop for Adventurers introduces students to the core principles of designing and developing an engaging 2D video game. Instructors offer students a practical understanding of game development using the popular GameMaker Studio 2 engine, while analyzing what makes their favorite games so fun to play.

By the end of the course, students will have the ability to design and iterate their own basic video game which they can continue to develop and refine at home.
