Clear answers
Questions designers ask first.
Understand how our courses work before you choose your next design experiment.
Who are the courses for?
They are designed for curious beginners, experienced hobby designers, and professionals who want a more deliberate process.
Do I need a finished game idea?
No. Several courses begin with a design question, while studio courses are best suited to an active prototype.
What materials do I need?
Paper, pencils, index cards, tokens, and ordinary household objects are enough for most exercises.
Are courses live or self-paced?
The catalog identifies each format. Self-paced courses offer flexible lessons; workshops and cohorts include scheduled sessions.
How much playtesting is expected?
Each course recommends a realistic test rhythm. You can begin with one trusted partner and expand as your prototype becomes clearer.
Can I request accessibility support?
Yes. Contact our team before enrollment so we can discuss captions, written alternatives, pacing, or other practical needs.
Are the courses about publishing contracts?
Our focus is design practice. We do not provide legal advice, publishing guarantees, or representation.
Can I save courses for later?
