STRANGE WORLDS: Build Digital Games with AI
You don't need to know how to code to build a game. You just need a world worth exploring.
In this hands-on workshop, you'll use AI tools to design, build, and play original digital game prototypes — from scratch, in three days. Whether your world lives in deep space, a flooded future city, or somewhere that doesn't have a name yet, you'll leave with a playable experience that's entirely your own.
No coding background required. Just bring your imagination and a willingness to get weird.
You'll walk away with:
- A playable digital game prototype
- A foundational AI worldbuilding toolkit
- The confidence to keep building
Beginners welcome. Open minds only.
Space is limited, so please register today!
