Your studio needs developers who understand mobile prototyping from the ground up. We've spent the last three years working with Bulgarian game companies, and one thing's clear: the gap between academic training and production reality is wider than most admit.
Start Planning Your Program
No offense to traditional educators, but studio work is different. Our instructors have shipped titles, missed deadlines, debugged at 2 AM, and lived through the chaos of production cycles. That experience matters when you're training people who'll face the same pressures.
Borislav spent eight years as a gameplay programmer at three different studios in Sofia before switching to training. He's the person who can explain why your perfectly logical code creates weird physics bugs. His approach: show people what breaks before teaching them what works.
Petar's background is in rapid prototyping for mobile publishers. He's built over forty game prototypes, and maybe twelve of them actually made it to soft launch. That failure rate isn't embarrassing—it's valuable. He teaches teams how to fail faster and learn from what doesn't work.
We track what's happening in studios across Bulgaria and Europe. Not because we're obsessed with trends, but because your training needs to prepare teams for what's coming in late 2025 and into 2026.
Publishers want deeper meta-games with casual accessibility. That means your prototypers need to understand progression systems, not just core loops. We're seeing this shift accelerate in 2025 as user acquisition costs force longer retention strategies.
18-month retention focusStudios are experimenting with AI for asset generation and code assistance. The question isn't whether to use these tools, but how to integrate them without losing creative control or code quality.
Bulgarian studios are hiring talent from across Eastern Europe. Your teams need workflows that function when half the developers are in different time zones. Documentation and async communication become critical skills.
Android remains dominant in Bulgaria and regional markets, but iOS revenue per user continues climbing. Smart studios are building cross-platform from day one. That requires understanding platform-specific constraints without duplicating development effort.
72% dual-platform launchesMid-range Android devices still dominate the Bulgarian market. Your games need to run smoothly on hardware from 2022 and earlier. Performance optimization isn't optional anymore.
For teams that need to validate game concepts faster. We focus on building functional prototypes that answer specific design questions. You're not creating polished demos—you're testing hypotheses about what makes your game concept work or fail.
Designed for junior developers who have academic training but lack production experience. We cover the practical skills that most university programs skip: version control in team environments, code review processes, debugging production builds, and performance profiling on actual devices.
When your designers and developers aren't speaking the same language, projects slow down. This program brings both disciplines together to learn shared workflows, communication patterns, and technical constraints that affect design decisions. Best results come from training intact teams rather than individuals.
