ForgeWorks turns a passion for games into hands-on design, programming and production skills through real projects using Unity, C#, 2D/3D art tools, AI-assisted workflows, version control and studio-style development practices.
Find Your Local StudioExplore the ProgramForgeWorks is structured like an indie game studio rather than a traditional coding class. Students learn how games are conceived, built, tested, improved and completed.
Backed by Convolution Studios, an independent game and interactive-development studio established in 2008.
Students finish real projects that can become part of a growing portfolio for future study and career exploration.
Students learn design, code, art, testing, teamwork and iteration instead of only consuming games.
