]]> Level 1: Game Dev Intro Bootcamp – September 7-8 https://jili77scattergameacademy.com/events/level-1-game-dev-intro-bootcamp-september-7-8/ Thu, 29 Aug 2024 19:40:00 +0000 https://jili77scattergameacademy.com/?post_type=events&p=7997

Do you dream of working in the game industry?

There is a serious gap in game education. You’ll find endless tutorials for how to program, how to make visual art, how to create music and more. But there are precious few opportunities to learn how the game industry actually works.

So we decided to fix that!

At the Jili 77 & Scatter Game Academy we turn students into game devs and game devs into indie studio founders. We are on a perpetual quest to help game creatives pave their own path.

To help YOU do just that, we designed IGA Level 1: Embark.

In our introductory weekend long bootcamp, we give you the very first tools you’ll need to break into the game industry. Spend a total of 8 hours of live lessons learning from game professionals on multiple important topics. Learn the fundamentals of Design, Production, and the Unity Game Engine: just enough to help you get started building games regardless of your desired path.

Topics Covered

  • Intro to Game Design
  • Fundamentals of Project Management
  • Intro to Visual Design in games
  • Intro to Narrative Design in games
  • How to Network
  • Resume and Portfolio Fundamentals
  • What to do next

All of that… in just one weekend

And you’ll finish your first game

Ever played a Dating Simulator? In our weekend long intro bootcamp you’ll build your very own version of this genre, and get everything you need to keep working on it, or other games like it using Unity + Ink.

It’s dangerous to go alone

The game industry can be daunting! That’s why it’s so important to find the right guide. Meet your IRL Gandalf and your number one supporter for the rest of your career, Willem Delventhal, the Headmaster of the Jili 77 & Scatter Game Academy and the Wizard of Joy. Joining him are 6 other incredible professors to total 7 live learning sessions in just one weekend!!

Collectively our professors have over 40 years of professional experience with credits including Star Wars Battlefront 2, Call of Duty, and Life by You. We love to mix it up so that you get a handful of veterans as well as some newer professors.
