Build Mobile Games That Players Actually Love
Learn cross-platform game development in Ottawa. From your first Unity project to launching on iOS and Android.
Industry-Standard Tools
We teach Unity and Unreal Engine — the same tools used by professional studios. You’ll learn the real workflow, not simplified tutorials.
Cross-Platform Mastery
One codebase, two platforms. We’ll show you how to build games for iOS and Android without duplicating your work or compromising performance.
From Launch to Success
Building the game is half the battle. We cover analytics, player retention, and the metrics that actually matter when you ship.
Games don’t ship themselves. You need to understand the full picture — from engine mechanics to player psychology to App Store optimization. That’s what we teach.
What You’ll Master
A complete skill set for modern game development
Game Architecture & Design
Learn how to structure your game code so it doesn’t fall apart when you add features. We’ll cover scene management, entity systems, and the patterns professionals use.
Mobile Optimization
Phones aren’t PCs. Battery life, screen sizes, and touch controls require different thinking.
UI/UX Design
Menus that work. Buttons that feel right. We don’t just build — we polish.
Analytics & Metrics
What gets measured gets managed. Learn which metrics matter and how to act on them.
Publishing & Monetization
The App Store has rules. Ad networks have quirks. We’ll guide you through it all.
Your Learning Path
4 core modules, structured from foundation to launch
1
Foundation
C# basics, Unity interface, scene structure. Weeks 1-3.
2
Mechanics
Physics, input, animations, audio. Build your first playable game. Weeks 4-8.
3
Polish & Scale
UI design, performance optimization, cross-platform testing. Weeks 9-11.
4
Launch Ready
App Store submission, analytics setup, post-launch strategy. Week 12.
Questions You Might Have
Do I need programming experience?
No. We start with C# fundamentals. If you can understand basic logic, you can learn this. Most students have no game dev background when they start.
Which is better — Unity or Unreal?
For mobile, Unity dominates. That’s where we focus. Unreal’s great for console and PC games, but mobile development with Unreal is still catching up.
Can I actually publish a game after this?
Yes. You’ll have a complete game at the end of the program. We walk you through App Store and Google Play submission. Some students do launch commercially.
What’s the time commitment?
12 weeks, 15-20 hours per week including coursework and projects. It’s intensive but not overwhelming. Most people work part-time while doing this.
