Meet Kasper Enwall, Game Design student at Futuregames and co-founder of the indie studio Loud Woman! 🎮

At Futuregames, Kasper found his place between code and game design, and learned just how important it is to test ideas and share unfinished work.

Today, he is developing the combat-focused game MURK together with fellow Futuregames student Cecilia Wretemark-Hauck.

“Create things to show others and ask for feedback. That’s how you test your ideas.”

“I entered the program not knowing what to expect, and now I’ve finally found a passion.”

Meet Callum Jones, a Frontend Development student at Futuregames 💻

Callum has previously found it difficult to enjoy education and stay motivated. At Futuregames, inspiring teachers, supportive classmates and hands-on projects have helped him discover both his passion and what he is capable of creating.

One experience that stands out is a group project completed for a real client, where Callum gained practical experience while learning the value of teamwork and collaboration.

“The teachers are genuinely passionate about the development of every student. In my experience, that is one of the hardest things to find.”
