Come make your first 2D pixel game with the team behind Go To Sea. We will use real in-game assets to demonstrate how to make background animation and characters. We will also use Unity, an independent game development engine to teach real-time navigation and interactivity.

No prior experience is needed. Please bring a laptop and install Unity prior to the workshop if you can.

.We can also help you install at the event.

This program is free for the public. It is sponsored by City Artist Corps Grants and Babycastles.

Babycastles Academy events are workshops (and sometimes game jams or talks) on topics related to artist-focused game development, world-building, and the intersection of art and technology. These workshops can be experienced individually or as a series to learn a broad range of skills and techniques. Our audience is a broad community of creative practitioners including visual artists, musicians, sculptors, programmers, dancers, performers, poets, writers, and those who may not self-identity as having any particular relevant skills but are interested in learning.

This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

Thanks to our host Wonderville. Proof of vaccination required for entry. See Wonderville website for more info.
