Owen of BitSmith is running a series of workshops on game design in Dublin this August. If you don’t know him, he is also behind DubLudo and of course their first game Ku was released earlier this year.
The focus of these design workshops will be experiential – you will learn by actually making games every day!
The curriculum will cover all game design fundamentals and is aimed at various levels; from people just starting out, to those needing a refresher, to those who just want to be immersed in play – anyone who wants to make a game.
