Frequently Asked Questions
How do cohorts work?
Cohorts open every 6–8 weeks. You’ll join a small group, attend live sessions if available, and share weekly playtest updates. All lessons are also watch-anytime.
Do I need special software or a 3D printer?
No. We focus on paper prototyping and common tools like spreadsheets and vector editors. Optional modules cover 3D parts for those who want them.
What is your refund policy?
If a course is not a fit, request a refund within 14 days of purchase and before completing 30% of the content. Cohort fees are refundable up to 7 days before start.
Will I get 1:1 feedback?
Select tracks include mentor reviews and office hours. All learners can post updates to receive community feedback with clear guidelines for constructive critique.
Do you provide certificates?
Yes, you’ll receive a completion certificate outlining skills practiced and outcomes demonstrated. We emphasize portfolios over grades.
Can you help with publishers or crowdfunding?
We teach realistic pathways to pitch, license, or self-publish. We do not promise funding or sales; we provide planning tools and ethical marketing practices.
How much time should I budget each week?
Expect 3–5 hours for lessons and playtests. Bigger sprints may require 6–8 hours. Our planners help you make steady, humane progress.
Is there a community code of conduct?
Yes. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for harassment, hate, or exploitation. Feedback must be specific, kind, and focused on the work, not the person.
