What Our Students Say
I joined with zero experience, built two Unity games during the course and published one on itch.io. Now I work as a junior game designer.
The Unreal Engine 5 module was amazing: Lumen, Nanite and MetaHuman. The trainer explained everything in Tamil, which made it easy.
I was a graphic designer wanting to move into game art. Blender, Maya and Substance Painter gave me the skills for my current role.
Gaming was always my passion. The C# module was excellent and turned it into a career.
The placement team helped me build my portfolio, prepared me for technical tests and connected me with studios.
I switched from banking to game design at 28. The GDD and level design projects were outstanding, and I now make my own games.

No. C# is taught from scratch in Unity, and Unreal Engine 5 uses Blueprint visual scripting, so beginners from any background can join after 12th.
Both are used widely. Unity is popular for mobile and indie games and uses C#. Unreal Engine 5 is used for high-end 3D games and cinematics with Blueprint and C++. The course teaches both so you can work in either type of studio.
Unity with C#, Unreal Engine 5 with Blueprint, Blender and Maya for 3D game art, Substance Painter for texturing, and AI tools such as ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Unity AI and Midjourney.
Yes. You build a 2D platformer in Unity, a 3D prototype in Unreal Engine 5 and a complete capstone game that you publish on itch.io or the Google Play Store.

Yes. You use ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot for C# help, Unity AI inside the engine, Midjourney and Leonardo for concept art, and AI tools for placeholder voices and music. You also learn the limits of AI for shipped games.
