Create Your Own Game: An Introduction To Unity

Discover how to use the same software as the experts!

Learn to build games the hands-on way, using a free game development application used by game developers all over the world.

Put your spin on the classic side-scroller, learn how to build levels, and leave with a playable game of your very own.

This workshop is intended to be a fun, supportive introduction to game development, and an opportunity to learn about how games are made for people all over the world at an established New Zealand studio.

 

*Please note anyone who is attending two workshops in one day will need to be collected by a caregiver during the lunch break.

*As lunch is not provided, we recommend using this time to get something to eat.

 

Facilitated by Sam Fleury and Alex Galbraith

Sam is a fresh-faced, old-soul developer and designer at award-winning Dunedin studio Runaway Play, with a focus on narrative and user experience design. He has given talks about creativity and wellbeing in gamedev at NZGDC and the University of Otago, and is a big dork for disco and house music.

Alex is a lover of all things video games. Inspired by flash games, he started programming games as a teen and is still going strong a decade later. With a love for education and community, Alex enjoys sharing his knowledge and inspiring youth to follow their passion in a rapidly expanding industry.
