You’ll be taken directly to your program dashboard. You’ll have a welcome video, and you’ll walk through our proven process for how we’ve helped thousands launch their careers in tech.

We’ll dive into everything you’re going to need to get started and we’ll be providing you with all the tools, workbooks, and check-lists you need to follow to launch your career as a game developer & software engineer.

You’ll also receive access to a private community, resource hub, and special links that let you book coaching calls directly with our technical team.

At gamedev:hq, our mission is simple: to shape you into one of the best software engineers on the planet. You won’t just watch others build games – you’ll actively learn the skills and techniques to create games from scratch, experiencing that powerful “Eureka!” moment where everything clicks, and you’re empowered to build any game you can imagine.

On our platform, you’ll develop a range of games across 2D, 2.5D, and 3D formats – from classics like Space Invaders to immersive platformers and third-person shooters. You’ll dive into level design, master lighting techniques, and utilize cinematic tools like Timeline and Cinemachine to bring cutscenes to life.

In our XR pathway, you’ll explore Augmented and Virtual Reality in depth. From placing digital objects in real-world environments to building captivating VR experiences, you’ll master device management, XR interactions, locomotion, and more.

For our LevelUp Accelerator members, we offer an Unreal Engine pathway, where you’ll explore blueprint scripting, gain foundational skills in C++, and create your own interactive worlds in Unreal.

Our goal isn’t to show you how to build specific games. It’s to teach you everything you need to build the ultimate game of your dreams.

Yes! (sort of) We’ve built this program to help you break-free from tutorial purgatory and finally build your dream game. This program is highly structured so that you can be a successful software engineer.

We’re not like other courses. Every module and lesson builds onto each other and requires the fundamental base knowledge from all previous sections.

The private community is where you’ll meet like-minded individuals who are passionate about building video games and launching their tech careers. You’ll have access to support and discussions and regular live workshops.

Our support systems are unique in that it’s moderated through a 24/7 ticket system to ensure all of your questions are getting answered by other members, our team, and ambassadors.

Since our program provides you with access to our proven, in-depth process for building a successful career in software engineering, we do not offer refunds. Instead, you are free to cancel your subscription if you feel the program isn’t working for you.

We invest heavily in each student’s journey and are committed to supporting your success, so we ask that you join only if you’re serious about learning to code and are ready to do it the right way.

Our program is designed to build solid skills for real-world applications – this isn’t a shortcut or a “get rich quick” solution. We’re here to help you build a strong foundation for lasting career success.
