Questions students ask us

How do I get the student discount?

Sign up with your .edu email. You'll get full access for $9/month, or free if your school has a partnership with us. No credit card required for the free trial.

Can I join a project without prior game dev experience?

Yes. Student and volunteer roles exist specifically for people building their first game. Browse open projects, review the scope and workload, and apply to roles that match your skills (or skills you want to learn).

What if I don't have a GDD or a project idea yet?

Start by joining someone else's project as a collaborator. Get hands-on experience, learn the production workflow, build your portfolio. When you're ready to lead your own project, you'll know what it takes.

How do educators use Gamers Home in coursework?

Educators manage student projects in a structured format. Students get real production experience working on scoped projects with milestones. We provide syllabus templates, teaching materials, and faculty support for semester-long programs.

Do I own the IP of what I build on Gamers Home?

Yes. Everything you create belongs to you (or your team, depending on your agreement). We don't train AI on student work, and we never claim rights to your game. Full policy at /ai-policy.

Can I upgrade to a paid plan later if my project takes off?

Absolutely. Start with Student pricing, upgrade to Core or Pro as your team grows. Your project data stays intact, and you keep all your collaborators and milestones.
