Game development studios need artists who understand both creativity and technical constraints. Our hands-on program focuses on mobile-first design principles and real industry workflows.
Explore ProgramsMobile games have unique constraints. Screen sizes, battery life, and user attention spans all affect how graphics should be designed.
Learn texture compression, sprite atlasing, and memory-efficient techniques that keep games running smoothly on various Android and iOS devices.
Design interfaces that work with fingers, not mice. Understanding touch zones, visual feedback, and accessibility across different screen densities.
Create fluid character animations and environmental effects using bone-based rigs and frame-by-frame techniques suited for mobile platforms.
Particle systems, lighting effects, and post-processing techniques that enhance gameplay without overwhelming mobile hardware.
You'll work on three complete mobile game prototypes throughout the program. Each project builds complexity while teaching different genres and art styles.
Our curriculum follows actual game development cycles. Start with concept art, move through asset creation, then optimize for different devices and app store requirements.
Classes run three evenings per week, with optional Saturday workshops for portfolio review and industry guest speakers.
Eight months of structured learning with real project milestones
Digital art basics, industry-standard tools, and mobile platform requirements. Build your first simple game assets and learn optimization workflows.
Create compelling game characters with proper proportions for small screens. Focus on readable silhouettes and memorable designs that work in gameplay.
Design game worlds that guide player movement and create atmosphere. Learn tileable textures, parallax backgrounds, and efficient environment systems.
Complete a full game art package demonstrating all skills learned. This becomes your primary portfolio piece for job applications.
Lead Graphics Instructor
Crisanto spent seven years at various Manila game studios, working on titles that reached millions of mobile players across Southeast Asia. He's particularly good at explaining complex technical concepts in simple terms.
What makes his teaching style different is the focus on practical problem-solving. Instead of just showing techniques, he walks through the actual decisions you'll face when working with tight deadlines and technical constraints.
Classes feel more like studio mentoring sessions than traditional lectures. Students often mention how his industry stories help them understand the context behind each skill they're learning.
Next cohort begins September 2025
Evening classes Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7:00-9:30 PM. Optional Saturday workshops twice monthly for portfolio reviews and guest speakers.
All sessions are hands-on with individual guidance. Maximum 12 students per cohort to ensure personal attention.
Basic computer skills and enthusiasm for learning. No prior art experience required, though any digital art background is helpful.
You'll need a reliable computer at home for assignments and portfolio work outside of class time.
The local game development scene has been growing steadily. While we can't guarantee job placement, our graduates typically find entry-level positions within 6-8 months of completion.
We maintain relationships with several Manila-based studios and help connect graduates with appropriate opportunities.
Applications for our September 2025 cohort open in June. Get in touch to learn more about the program or schedule a studio visit.
