A World-Building Curriculum
BUILD YOUR WORLD
Game Not Included is a world-building curriculum designed to help students build social emotional skills through concept art.
What is Game Not Included?
Game Not Included uses digital art and the practice of world building to explore personal identity using a project-based approach. With our collection of projects you’ll learn how to harness the power of your unique perspective and experiences through visualization, concept art, and storytelling.
The Process…
Emotion Visualization
Learn how to harness the power of emotions to create captivating and memorable designs. Previsualization teaches you to leverage colors, patterns, and shapes to push your designs to the next level.
Project Templates
Create the characters and environments that fill your world with our collection of template files and lessons. Every project you finish adds a new object to your world, or expands existing lore.
Game Guide
Every detail of your world is stored in the Game Guide. Continuously build your body of work through the project templates, then export them into a final tangible piece of art in the form of an instruction manual of your world.
Learning Library
Game Not Included encourages a collaborative learning environment, no matter what software you use. Build the skills to ask good forum questions, find and share quality tutorials, and navigate software documentation using our Learning Library.
