Founding Members opens Sunday 15 November (join the waitlist)
The free course gets you your first game in an evening. So what comes next? Here's the answer. FOUNDING MEMBERS is a paid tier opening on Sunday 15 November. Inside, we build a full platformer together, step by step, from the first jump to a finished game on itch.io: - Plan it with Claude, and learn the prompts that keep AI on track - The Godot parts you actually need: movement, levels, enemies, checkpoints, animation - Art, sound and music, with clear rules on what you're allowed to ship - Menus, saving, a boss fight, and a proper itch.io release - Cutting a trailer and finding your first players You also get starter templates and written feedback on your game every month. PRICE: $29 a month, locked in for life while you stay. That's for the first 50 members only. After that it goes up. Cancel any time. WAITLIST: comment IN below. Waitlist members get in 48 hours early, on Friday 13 November, before it opens to everyone. Honest notes: the course is new, so you'll be among the first through it, and new lessons arrive at least every two weeks. Everything that's free now stays free. And if you haven't made Dodge the Demons yet, start there. It's the perfect warm-up. Luke

Start here: welcome to Blackmount
Welcome to Blackmount! Here we make real games with AI, and I show you exactly how. Three things to do in your first 10 minutes: 1. Introduce yourself in the comments below: your name, and what game you'd love to make. 2. Check the Classroom. The free "Your first game in an evening" course is ready, 9 short lessons: you'll build a small arcade game called Dodge the Demons with Godot + Claude, then put it on itch.io. 3. Play the free HellTD++ demo at blackmountgaming.itch.io to see what this way of making games can build. House rules: → Be kind. Everyone here is learning. → Share your work early, even if it's rough. Post it in "Show your game". → Stuck? Post in "Help: stuck?" so everyone learns from the answer. I reply to every one. Let's make some games. Luke

The free course is live: make your first game in an evening
It's done. "Your first game in an evening" is now in the Classroom, free for everyone here. 9 short video lessons. You'll build Dodge the Demons with Godot and Claude, from an empty project to a game anyone can play on itch.io: Module 1: what you'll make, installing Godot and Claude, and how to talk to Claude so it writes code that fits your game. Module 2: the player, demons, game over, score and difficulty, a title screen with a saved best score, and putting it on the web. Every lesson has a catch-up zip, so if you get stuck you can jump straight back in. Play the finished game: https://blackmountgaming.itch.io/dodge-the-demons When you finish, post your link in the Show your game thread. I'll play every one. Luke
