The Curriculum

Everything a Teacher Needs to Run an AI Game Creation Course

From Blank Page to Published Game in 12 Weeks

A structured, sequential curriculum with teacher manuals, student handbooks, assessments, and a final presentation framework. No game development experience required.

Follow a professional studio workflow. Learn to write stories with AI, create 3D assets, build levels, test games, produce marketing, and launch to a real audience.

1

Write the Story

Work with AI to create an original game narrative — characters, conflict, a 10-step interactive story flow, and five possible endings.

2

Build the World

Generate 3D characters, environments, props, and original music using AI tools. Tag every asset for the game engine.

3

Construct the Level

Place assets in a browser-based 3D level editor. Configure narrator voice, soundtrack, and story sections.

4

Test and Verify

Follow a structured 4-pass testing protocol. Document bugs, triage issues, and verify everything works.

5

Create the Marketing

Use AI to produce a podcast, newsletter, and video presentation. Build promotional assets.

6

Launch to the World

Set pricing, build the storefront listing, coordinate the launch, and publish the game for real players.

From story text to 3D game world
Six Professional Roles

Every Student Gets a Title

Teams of 2-6 students each own a distinct role. One student can complete the entire course solo as a Mastermind.

Role 01
Story Alchemist
Shapes the narrative foundation. Works with AI to write the core story, define characters, set the conflict, and establish the goal.
Role 02
Asset Realizer
Brings all visual, audio, and interactive elements into existence using AI tools — 3D models, characters, music, sound design, and brand graphics.
Role 03
Realm Assembler
Transforms tagged assets into a playable space. Constructs the 3D level layout, configures audio, creates cover art, and exports the game.
Role 04
Game Unleasher
Gives the final go-ahead. Playtests the completed level using a structured protocol, documents issues, and authorizes release.
Role 05
Hype Wrangler
Directs the promotional voice. Creates AI-hosted podcasts, newsletters, and video presentations to build audience interest.
Role 06
Storefront Conductor
Orchestrates the public launch. Curates the listing, sets pricing strategy, coordinates marketing, and executes the publish.

Teacher GameBuilder Video Tutorial

Before you teach a single lesson, build a complete game yourself. Our step-by-step video tutorial walks you through the entire process — writing the story, generating 3D assets, assembling the level, and publishing. You'll see exactly what your students will experience, and you'll have your own game to show them on day one.

Your Teacher GameBuilder Pass ($33 value) is included free with every Classroom License.

Beyond the Classroom

Your Students Become Part of the Game

The curriculum doesn't just teach game creation — it puts students inside the experience.

Cast Your Class
Vote for Roles
Creators can vote to cast classmates as characters — the hero, the quest giver, enemies, allies, or bosses. The game becomes a personal, shared experience.
True Ownership
Students Own Their Game
Every published game belongs to the students. Their IP, their portfolio piece — permanently live on the platform for anyone to discover and play.
Real Budgets
Creative Credits
Each student receives a budget of Creative Credits to spend on AI tools — just like a real game studio budget. When credits run low, they pitch the teacher for more. Resource management is part of the learning.

Creative Credits dashboard showing per-student budgets

How Creative Credits Work: Each student receives a fixed budget of Creative Credits — enough to build a complete game. They decide how to spend them across 3D characters, music, voice, and video. When credits run low, students pitch the teacher for a top-up — just like a real studio budget review. Teachers purchase Credit Top-Up Packs ($25/pack) as needed.
