FROM ZERO TO HERO

The In-Person Game Dev Club at ESPOL.
Every Friday. Open to everyone. 100% Scholarship (Limited Time).
Mornings: Dynamic Workshops 🧠  |  Afternoons: Live Development 💻

📍 Physical Location (ESPOL) ∞ Ongoing Support 🤝 Community Driven

Stop learning alone. Start building together.

  • The Friday Ritual: We take over the club room every week. Mornings are for learning new skills (Godot, Blender, Business), and afternoons are for applying them to your game.
  • Adaptive Curriculum: No rigid syllabi. We teach what the community needs right now—whether that’s fixing a shader, optimizing for mobile, or setting up a Steam page.
  • Mentorship, Not Lectures: Galactic Lake developers are there to guide you, debug with you, and help you push that «Publish» button.

WHATEVER YOUR GAME NEEDS

💻

Engineering & Godot

Mastering the engine. From Client-Server Architecture and Design Patterns to Mobile Optimization and messy code refactoring.

🎨

Art & Audio

Technical Art is key. We cover Blender 3D workflows, Shader creation, Level Design, and Dynamic Musical Composition.

🌍

Publishing & Biz

A game isn’t finished until it’s played. Learn to set up Steam/PlayStore pages, create trailers, and understand the market.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need to know how to code?
It helps, but it’s not mandatory. We start from the basics in our workshops, but you need to be willing to learn logic. If you are an artist or musician, you are also welcome to team up!
What engine do we use?
We primarily use Godot Engine because it’s free and lightweight, but the concepts (Design Patterns, Game Feel) apply to Unity or Unreal.
Is it really free?
Yes, for now. We are offering a 100% scholarship (valued at $69.99) for the first cohorts to boost the local industry. Take advantage of it before it changes!
