Courses

Pick your track

Every course is live, project-based and taught one-to-one — just you and your instructor, so your screen is the one being looked at and your questions get answered the moment you have them.

How it works

Four steps, one finished game

There is no application, no entry test and no prerequisite reading. This is the whole path from curious to shipped.

Try a free lesson

Thirty minutes with an instructor to see how it feels and whether it is for you.

Choose your course

2D, 3D or the programming track — we will tell you honestly which one to start with.

Learn live, twice a week

Short explanation, guided practice, then your own exercise. You build every session.

Ship your game

Week six ends with a build you can send to a friend and say: I made this.

Why Zumrut Labs

You learn to make games by making games

Hands-on learning

You are not watching a recording. Every session has you in the editor, writing and running your own code.

Build real games

Each course is one project, carried from an empty scene all the way to a playable build that is yours.

Expert guidance

Someone experienced is looking at your screen when you get stuck — not a forum thread from 2019.

One-to-one, always

Every lesson is private — just you and your instructor, so asking the "obvious" question is never a problem.

About us

A game school built around one idea

Most people who want to make games never finish one. They collect tutorials, follow along for an hour, and stop somewhere around the part where nothing works and there is nobody to ask.

Zumrut Labs exists to fix that. Our courses are live and private: it is you and an instructor who can see your screen, catch the bug you have been staring at, and answer the question you would have been too shy to post in a forum.

Every course is project-based. From the first week you are building the thing you will finish with — a real, playable game that belongs to you. We are based in Finland and teach online, in English or Turkish.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask

Do I need any coding or game development experience?
No. Our beginner courses assume nothing at all. We start with installing Unity and understanding the interface, and build up from there step by step.
What do I need to take part?
A computer that can run Unity, a stable internet connection and a headset. Unity itself is free for personal use, and we will help you install and configure it during your free trial lesson.
Is the trial lesson really free?
Yes — 30 minutes, no card, no obligation. It is a real lesson: you will open the editor and make something happen on screen.
Which course should I start with?
If you have never made a game, start with Unity 2D — fewer moving parts, faster results. Choose Unity 3D if you are set on 3D from the start. The C# programming track is for people who want to go deeper on the code itself. If you are unsure, ask us in the free lesson.
What happens in a live session?
Each session is a short explanation, then guided practice, then an exercise you do yourself. You are not watching — you are building, and the instructor is there while you do it.
Is it a group class?
No. Every lesson is one-to-one — just you and your instructor. The whole session runs at your pace, on your project, and there is never a queue for your questions.
What language are the courses taught in?
English or Turkish — whichever you prefer. Tell us when you book your free lesson and we will teach the whole course in that language.
How much does a course cost and how do I pay?
Our courses are currently €149 instead of €199 as a limited-time offer. Start by filling in the registration form for the course you want — we will confirm your place and send payment details by email.
What if I miss a session, or change my mind?
Lessons are one-to-one, so a session can usually just be moved — let us know at least 24 hours ahead and we reschedule it at no cost. If you change your mind altogether, you get a full refund before the first session, and a refund of every session not yet held after that. The exact wording is in our terms.
