If you go to a public space and spot a group of kids (or maybe even adults) huddled together and hunched over their respective smartphones, they’re most likely doing either one of two things: playing the ever-popular game Fortnite as if their life depended on it, or watching a stream of someone else playing the same game.

To the uninitiated, Fortnite is a Battle Royale-style game that launched a little over a year ago. As of now, Fortnite’s userbase is nearly 80 million strong, and it’s only going to grow from here.

What makes Fortnite so addictive? How did the developers make it amazingly immersive? And how do you even begin to conceptualize and design such a game? If you’ve ever wanted to build your own successful mobile game, the courses below could very well help you reach the top of the app charts:

AppGameKit is a one-stop development engine that allows you to quickly code and churn out apps for multiple platforms. In this bundle, you’ll take a deep dive into how this engine works so you could unlock its full potential. 

Once you learn the ins-and-outs of the platform, you’ll move on to build your own games which you can export to Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, and more. The courses included will teach you how to create all sorts of apps, from puzzle to action and tower defense games to full-blown showcase games.

To be the best, you need to learn from the best. The School of Game Design features game development courses led only by expert instructors and professionals with years of experience. Made to accommodate all skill levels, it offers a massive library of step-by-step video training which you can learn at your own pace and at your own time. 

You’ll learn everything from the fundamentals of game design to advanced techniques with Unity3D to coding and digital artistry skills. This deal will grant you lifetime access to all courses, so you’ll always be up to speed on the latest advancements in the gaming industry.

Part of the reason why people perceive Fortnite as incredibly engaging is its vivid graphics. Once you start to play, you’ll find it hard to look away. The Graphics & FX Mastery Bundle is an eight-part collection of courses that will teach you how to incorporate vivid graphics into the games you develop. You’ll learn color blending and depth rendering, as well as rotoscoping and warping. 

There are also courses dedicated to teaching you how to create video and graphic presentations. And you don’t even have to pay a ton to gain access to this bundle (we know you’re reserving your schmoney for V-bucks). Name your price, and if it beats the average, you’ll get to take home the entire set. If not, you’ll still get a bunch of educational courses. It’s a win-win.
