In this camp, students become indie game creators as they explore what sets indie games apart from major studio titles. They will examine popular indie hits like Hollow Knight, Undertale, and Stardew Valley, identifying the unique art styles, storytelling choices, and gameplay mechanics that helped these games stand out. Using Unity and Godot, two of the most widely used indie engines in the industry, students learn how to take an idea from concept to prototype. Through guided challenges, they will create small gameplay systems, design simple levels, and apply basic visual scripting and level design principles to customize starter templates. In the final stretch, students will iterate like real indie teams—playtesting, gathering feedback, and refining their ideas.
