Endless Adventures is a soon-to-be-released, no-coding-necessary game engine that helps developers create unique, engaging Role-Playing Games (RPGs). We are very pleased to work with Endless Adventures to give Open World’s students early access to this groundbreaking generative authoring tool to create their own games from scratch.
Just like our Masterclass series for teens, this special workshop for Adventurers (ages 9–13) is developed and taught by a professional from the industry, in this case, one of the developers of Endless Adventures and Co-Founder of Guildhall Studios, Zach Weisman!
In Creating Endless Adventures, Zach will demonstrate the basic components that go into all compelling RPGs, then guide students through the game engine’s cutting-edge features to help them modify existing games and eventually create their own mini-RPGs.
By the end of this workshop, students will come away with a better understanding of RPG design and an appreciation for the new generation of authoring tools like Endless Adventures.
Zach’s game credits include:
- Sea of Legends
- Got ‘Em
- Golem Arcana
- Shadowrun Returns
- The Titan Series
- Menu Masters
- Adorable Monsters
