Starting with zero programming experience felt overwhelming. But the structured approach here changed everything for me. We built actual games from day one, not just theory. My first mobile puzzle game launched six months after graduation and hit 50,000 downloads. The mentorship didn't end at graduation either – they helped me navigate my first job interview and salary negotiation.
The portfolio I built during the program opened doors I never expected. What impressed employers most wasn't just the technical skills, but how I could solve creative problems under pressure. The collaborative projects taught me to work with teams and handle feedback professionally. Now I'm leading environment design for a major educational game project that launches next year.
Student Projects That Made an Impact
These aren't just classroom exercises. Our students create games and 3D experiences that real people play and use.
Desert Mysteries
A collaborative puzzle-adventure game created by our students that combines Egyptian mythology with modern game mechanics. The team spent four months developing this from concept to playable demo.
- Built using Unity 2D with custom scripting
- Original artwork and character design
- Sound design and music composition
- Playtested with over 200 local gamers
Featured Graduate
Nour Rashid
Senior Game Designer at Middle East Gaming Collective
The program didn't just teach me how to code or model characters. It taught me how to think like a game designer. How to balance challenge with fun, how to test ideas quickly, and most importantly, how to fail fast and learn faster. Three years later, I'm designing games that thousands of people play daily.
