Our Mission
At Thoughtlyn, we believe everyone has a game idea worth bringing to life. We've built our platform to break down the technical barriers that stop creative people from getting started.
We're not just teaching coding – we're building a community where beginners can find their confidence, mentorship, and the practical skills to create games they're proud of.
Make game development accessible to absolute beginners with no prior experience
Provide hands-on learning through practical projects that build real-world skills
Foster a supportive community where every student feels welcome and encouraged
Meet Our Team
Thoughtlyn was born from a simple question: why should game development be so hard to get into? Our team brings together industry experience and a passion for teaching to create something different.
Daniel Thompson
Founder & Lead Instructor
Before starting Thoughtlyn, I spent 8 years as a game developer at studios big and small. I loved the work but kept meeting talented people who felt locked out of the industry because they didn't know where to start.
That's when it clicked – we needed to rethink how game development is taught. Not everyone thrives in traditional computer science programs or wants to wade through dense technical documentation. Sometimes you just want to make a game and learn along the way.
Now I get to help students who remind me of myself when I was starting out – full of ideas but intimidated by the tech. Seeing their first games come to life never gets old.
Our Vision for the Future
We're working toward a world where game development is as accessible as picking up a paintbrush. Where your creative vision – not technical limitations – is what defines what you can build. We believe games are one of the most powerful creative mediums of our time, and more diverse voices need to be part of shaping their future.
