STRANGE WORLDS: Build Digital Games with AI

You don't need to know how to code to build a game. You just need a world worth exploring.

In this hands-on workshop, you'll use AI tools to design, build, and play original digital game prototypes — from scratch, in three days. Whether your world lives in deep space, a flooded future city, or somewhere that doesn't have a name yet, you'll leave with a playable experience that's entirely your own.

No coding background required. Just bring your imagination and a willingness to get weird.

You'll walk away with:

  • A playable digital game prototype
  • A foundational AI worldbuilding toolkit
  • The confidence to keep building

Beginners welcome. Open minds only.
