Summary

The truth of the matter is, every great video game designer had to start somewhere.

From Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto to Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima, these visionaries in their fields weren't born with a wealth of video game coding knowledge or even game design theory in their heads.

The School of Game Design is a great place to take your first steps.

With courses for developers of all ages and skill levels taught by experienced instructors, this interactive online course contains 120 hours of video to help take you from aspiring game dev to creating multiple short levels and games of your own.

School of Game Design offers five types of training courses: 2D game design, 3D game design, computer animation, graphic design and digital painting.

The most basic set of tutorials in the palm of 2D game design revolves around creating a playable game level with no programming via the Unity game engine.

Much of the rest of the 2D game design course is based around an engine called GameSalad, which requires a separate download and payment with a monthly fee if you continue to use it.

3D design: Developing Unity skills, racing and game creation.

The School of Game Design is an absolutely fantastic selection of helpful, easy-to-follow tutorials that make learning feel less like a slog and more like watching your favorite YouTuber walk you through bite-sized game design classes.

We think the School of Game Design should be your one-stop-shop for learning how to create your own games.
