Classes format

Each week starts with access to pre-recorded video lessons and additional materials on the omerune.com platform. Students study the materials at their own pace and complete a hands-on assignment to reinforce their learning. If they need help, they can turn to the built-in AI assistant or reach out to mentors via chat. In the second half of the week, live group sessions are held via Zoom, where trainers review student work, give personalized and group feedback, and explain common mistakes. Each session runs for approximately three academic hours. The course also includes regular expert sessions featuring professionals with deep expertise in Unity and the broader GameDev industry. These events take place online (Zoom, Discord, Google Meet) or offline, depending on the format. In addition to learning content, the omerune.com platform provides access to community channels, peer support, and additional learning resources.

Skills

Throughout the course, students will gain hands-on experience with essential tools used in the game development industry, including Autodesk Maya, Substance Painter, Adobe Photoshop, and Unity 3D. They’ll learn to work with technical briefs, adhere to industry-standard workflows, and understand how professional game studios operate in real production environments. By the end of the program, each student will be equipped to choose their own development path — whether as a focused specialist or a versatile generalist with a wide range of skills.
