Join EHU’s Game Creation program — a hands-on path into the game industry, blending art, design, and storytelling.
Have you ever imagined creating your own game — from the first sketch to a playable world? The Game Creation program invites students to explore every creative side of game development. Here you won’t just play games — you will generate ideas, design mechanics, draw characters and environments, and turn your concepts into interactive experiences.
Students learn how:
- games are imagined
- visual style is created
- gameplay systems make those worlds come alive
The program combines art, game design, and interactive creation. Students develop skills in concept art, visual storytelling, and character design while also learning the foundations of game design, level design, and player experience.
Using visual programming and prototyping tools, participants will bring their ideas to life — building mechanics, testing gameplay, and shaping the logic behind their games without needing advanced coding knowledge.
