The Camp Everyone Talked About – Returns!
For rising grades 5–7
Last summer, campers raved about how it was "the best two weeks ever! Our GameMaker Studio Camp was a tremendous success, and the campers' excitement was contagious.
Why was it so popular? GameMaker Studio is an ideal tool for middle school students who want to create real games. It's the same engine behind indie hits like *Undertale*, *Katana Zero*, and *Hyper Light Drifter*.
In this engaging camp, you'll journey from "I have a game idea" to "Here’s my game – try it!" No prior coding experience is necessary. We begin with user-friendly drag-and-drop tools and gradually introduce simple scripting as you become more comfortable.
What You'll Create
Every camper builds their own unique game. Here are some favorites from last summer:
Platformers
- Run, jump, and dodge obstacles.
- Add moving platforms, spikes, and power-ups.
- Design multiple levels with increasing difficulty
Arcade Classics (with a twist)
- Create space shooters featuring custom enemies.
- Combine Pong with power-ups.
- Develop a Breakout game with unique ball physics.
Top-Down Adventures (Zelda-like)
- Explore a world of your design.
- Collect keys to open doors.
- Battle simple enemies with health bars.
Puzzle Games
- Push blocks, flip switches, and unlock paths.
- Design brain-teasing levels.
- Add hints and reset buttons
Why Students Loved It (And Why You Will Too)
- No coding is required to get started; the drag-and-drop interface allows you to begin building on your very first day.
- Create real games quickly; you'll have a playable prototype ready by Day 2.
- You can explore any genre you like—whether it's a platformer, shooter, puzzle, or adventure.
- Continue building after camp; GameMaker offers a free version for use at home.
What You Will Take Home
- A complete and original video game (Windows export).
- All your project files.
- A digital game poster designed by you (box art style).
- Camp completion certificate
