You don't need to know everything before you start.

A small game gives you a reason to learn each skill. Build a mechanic, see how it plays and work out what needs changing.

Everything starts inside Skool.

Questions, answered

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You'll work with AI tools that write and explain code. The lessons help you understand what the code does and judge whether it works in your game.

Is the course really free?

Yes. The free course lives inside the free AI Game Makers community on Skool. Joining the community costs nothing.

Which AI tools will I need?

The lessons show the tools used to build each example and explain what each one does. Some AI tools have free tiers and some are paid; each lesson says what it uses so you can decide before you start. You don't need to buy anything to join or to follow the lessons.

What kind of computer do I need?

A laptop or desktop computer with a modern web browser and an internet connection. A phone is fine for watching, but building is much easier on a computer.

How long does the course take?

It's self-paced, so it depends on how much time you give it. You can work through the lessons whenever it suits you.

Where do the lessons live?

In the Classroom of the AI Game Makers community on Skool. This website explains the course; the lessons themselves are on Skool.
