Testimonials

“A brilliant toolkit for community game creation.”

-The Indie Game Website

“There have been a lot of games that give players the tools to create their own experience, but none like E-Line Media’s 'The Endless Mission'”

-Variety

“Most human beings complain about the meanness of nature, because we are born for a brief span of life, and because this spell of time that has been given to us rushes by so swiftly and rapidly that with very few exceptions life ceases for the rest of us just when we are getting ready for it.”

Roger Waters, Mobile Developer

What technology is being used?

We will be using Unity to develop our games alongside in-house tools to simplify the coding and design process. Heavily push design as opposed to just code. Building out concept, prototyping it, writing it down and make it explainable to others.

How does the methodology work? What’s the 6 week program like?

Progressive building from base skills needed for game development outward into more specific and complex areas based on their own unique interests. Starting with: how do we design something that will be fun? Moving to how do we make art for something? How do we code? Starts with: What makes fun games? Foundational learning pushing into larger skills.

What will my kids have to show for it?

They’ll have the beginnings of their game, the methods to complete it, and for some, a team of professionals working to create a polished that can be shared. All the resources necessary to continue development. Helping them build up documentation that thay can use later on to continue their work.
