Build Games That Actually Work
Learning mobile game development shouldn't feel like decoding ancient scrolls. Our approach focuses on practical engine fundamentals—the stuff that helps you ship actual projects instead of chasing theoretical perfection.

Questions You'll Actually Ask
We've organized our program around the real questions people face when learning game engines. Not marketing fluff—just honest answers.
Before Starting
Do I need programming experience? What hardware works? How much time commitment makes sense? We cover the practical stuff that helps you decide if this fits your current situation.
During Learning
What happens when tutorials fail? How do I debug weird engine behavior? Where do I find help at 2 AM? Our support system addresses the messy reality of learning complex tools.
After Completion
Can I build something people actually download? How do updates and versions work? What about community resources? We prepare you for the post-course reality of maintaining projects.
What Industry Changes Mean For You
Mobile gaming engines evolve constantly. Version updates break things. New platforms emerge. Old tricks stop working.
Instead of pretending we can predict 2026, we focus on teaching adaptable problem-solving. The kind that survives API changes and platform shifts.
- Performance optimization techniques that transfer across engine versions
- Asset pipeline workflows that scale from prototypes to releases
- Testing approaches for various device capabilities and screen sizes
- Resource management patterns that prevent common mobile crashes
Montenegro's tech community is small but growing. That creates interesting opportunities for people who can build functional mobile experiences without massive budgets.
Upcoming Program Timeline
Our next cohort starts September 2025. Here's the realistic schedule.
Program Launch
Initial orientation covers tool setup, environment configuration, and getting everyone's systems actually working. First week usually involves troubleshooting weird installation issues nobody predicted.
Core Engine Mechanics
Physics systems, rendering pipelines, input handling. The unglamorous foundation work that determines whether your game runs smoothly or stutters like broken machinery.
Portfolio Projects
Build something you can actually show people. We help you scope projects that demonstrate capability without requiring six months of solo development time.
Program Completion
Final review sessions and ongoing resource access. Alumni network stays active because troubleshooting mobile builds never really ends.
Meet Emira Baković
Emira spent eight years fixing mobile performance problems at studios before transitioning to teaching. She still maintains two published games, which means she deals with the same platform updates and deprecation warnings you will.
Her teaching style avoids sugarcoating the frustrating parts. Game development involves lots of trial and error. Builds fail for mysterious reasons. Documentation lies sometimes.
Students appreciate her willingness to demonstrate debugging sessions where things go wrong—because that's where actual learning happens. Theory only gets you so far when your shader compiler throws cryptic errors.
"I've shipped games that made money and games that flopped. Both experiences taught me what matters: reliable builds, maintainable code, and knowing when to cut features that don't work. That's what I focus on teaching."
What You'll Build
Completing this program doesn't guarantee employment or financial success. What it does provide: practical skills for building functional mobile game prototypes and understanding modern engine architecture.
Engine Proficiency
Navigate complex mobile game engines without constant tutorial dependency. Understand documentation and debug issues independently.
Performance Optimization
Identify bottlenecks and apply practical fixes. Mobile devices have limited resources—knowing where they go matters.
Portfolio Projects
Create demonstrable work that shows capability. Not polished commercial releases, but functional examples of your skills.
Community Access
Connect with other developers facing similar challenges. Shared struggle creates surprisingly helpful networks.
