Become a master in two different realms! In this full-day camp, campers will spend the morning learning the fundamentals of game design and creating their own tabletop game, including pieces and box design. In the afternoon, they'll build an old-school classic platform game in FlowLab, designing sprites, obstacles, collectibles, sound effects, and mazes to stump the player. Don't know what a sprite is? No problem—no experience necessary! Leave camp with an original tabletop game and your very own video game.Software: FlowLab, Procreate, Photoshop, Aseprite
