Our Journey Through Innovation
From a small team passionate about mobile gaming to Australia's leading game design education platform, we've built something extraordinary through dedication and genuine care for our students' success.
The Beginning
Three game developers working late nights in a cramped Mandurah office noticed something troubling. Fresh graduates were struggling to bridge the gap between academic theory and real mobile game development. We started monarethylova as weekend workshops, teaching practical Unity skills that universities weren't covering.
- First mobile game development workshop with 12 participants
- Established partnerships with three local game studios
- Created foundational curriculum focusing on real-world applications
Digital Transformation
The pandemic pushed everyone online, but we were ready. Our hands-on approach translated surprisingly well to virtual classrooms. Students could share screens, collaborate on projects, and get immediate feedback on their game prototypes. What started as necessity became our strength.
- Launched comprehensive online learning platform
- Developed virtual collaboration tools for game development teams
- Expanded reach beyond Western Australia to national audience
- Achieved 340% growth in student enrollment
Industry Recognition
Our graduates started landing positions at major studios. Not just entry-level roles, but meaningful positions where they could contribute immediately. Word spread through the tight-knit Australian game development community, and suddenly we weren't just teaching students – we were shaping the industry's future talent pipeline.
- 85% of graduates secured industry positions within six months
- Established mentorship program with senior industry professionals
- Launched advanced specialization tracks in AR/VR development
- Received Australian Education Excellence Award nomination
Innovation Hub
Today, we're more than an education platform. We're a creative hub where experienced developers share knowledge, students build portfolio-worthy projects, and industry connections flourish. Our focus remains unchanged: practical skills that matter in real mobile game development careers.
- Over 2,800 successful graduates working across Australia and internationally
- Active partnerships with 45+ game development studios
- Continuous curriculum updates reflecting latest industry trends
- Student-created games featured on major app stores
Built by Developers, for Developers
We've all been there – staring at code that worked perfectly in tutorials but falls apart when you try building something original. Traditional education teaches theory, but mobile game development demands practical problem-solving skills that only come from experience.
Our founding team spent years in commercial game development, shipping titles for iOS and Android. We understood the frustration of hiring talented graduates who needed months of additional training before contributing meaningful work. Something had to change.
That philosophy drives everything we do. When Unity updates their engine, we update our courses within weeks. When new monetization strategies emerge, we incorporate them into our curriculum. We stay current because the mobile gaming landscape never stops evolving.
Seraphina Morrison
Lead Curriculum Developer
"Every course we create starts with a simple question: will this help someone build better games? If the answer isn't a clear yes, we don't include it. Our students invest their time and money to learn practical skills, not theoretical concepts they'll never use."
Shaping Tomorrow's Gaming Landscape
Augmented Reality Focus
As AR capabilities expand beyond Pokemon Go, we're preparing developers for location-based gaming, social AR experiences, and mixed reality applications that will define the next decade of mobile entertainment.
Intelligent Game Systems
Machine learning isn't just for tech giants anymore. We're teaching developers how to implement smart NPCs, dynamic difficulty adjustment, and personalized content generation using accessible AI tools and frameworks.
Cloud-Native Gaming
With 5G networks becoming standard, mobile games can leverage cloud computing for complex calculations, multiplayer synchronization, and streaming high-quality content without device limitations.
Valentina Chen
Strategic Partnerships Director
"The Australian game development scene is exploding right now. We're working directly with studios to understand their hiring needs and skill requirements. When our graduates interview, they're already familiar with the tools, processes, and challenges they'll face on day one."
