You’ve enjoyed almost every type of game on the market, obsessed over the level details of every indie hit, and even modded your favorite games. Believe it or not, you’ve got all the basic familiarity needed to break into game development—and you certainly have the passion. Now all you need are the coding skills.
That may seem like a big leap, but there are two great things about programming: anyone can learn it and anyone can do it from home provided they have the right teachers. Zenva Academy is an online community focused on training the next generation of programmers, bringing together experienced developers to guide users through learning skills valuable far beyond the world of game development.
Think of this academy as an open-world adventure through the realm of coding. Whether you’ve designed your own websites and apps or never written a line of code, this system lets you get started in a course that matches your level of experience. Once you’ve got the basics down, you can explore specific education pathways that prep you for your dream career.
Zenva doesn’t just teach the beginners’ software that anyone can use to make cookie-cutter games, though. Their classes cover the coding fundamentals required to customize games from the ground up. Whether you have a vision for your own addictive mobile title or an immersive VR shooter, you’ll get the skills you need. You can even branch out to other careers. If you enjoy learning Python, for instance, find out how that language can be used in web design or the lucrative world of data science.
There are more than 250 courses to choose from, with new ones added for subscribers every month. PCMag readers can get started today with one year of unlimited access to Zenva Academy for $139.99—17 percent off the MSRP.
