About this course
In this course you build Cat Merge Cafe, an idle game, from scratch: the player merges cocktails, earns coins, and grows a cafe full of cats. More importantly, you learn a modern approach to development where AI becomes a full member of the team. You set up Cursor and Unity MCP, learn to write prompts, manage context, create skills, and assemble an "orchestra" of AI agents: an architect, a programmer, a reviewer, a debugger, and a tester. Then, together with them, you build all the gameplay (the grid, merging, income, the shop, and decor purchases) and bring the game to a commercial look: UI, fonts, DOTween animations, sound, music, and lively details like cars pulling up outside. The approach is universal: after the course, you can build other games just as fast. Add the project to your portfolio or take it all the way to release.

A Unity plugin with an account. We install and connect it in module 1.
ChatGPT or another image generator
For skins, backgrounds, and assets. There's also a free option: a local generator running on your computer.
No programming experience needed
The AI writes the code. Basic familiarity with the Unity interface helps.

After purchaseFAQ
I can't code. Is this for me?
Yes. AI writes the code; you learn to give it tasks, check the result and manage the agents. Basic familiarity with the Unity interface helps.
What do I need to pay for besides the course?
A Cursor Pro subscription (the cheapest plan is enough). Unity and Unity Hub are free. For images, ChatGPT or a free local generator on your computer works.
What computer do I need?
Any Windows or macOS PC or laptop that runs Unity 6.
Does this approach only work for this game?
No. Using Cat Merge Cafe as the example, you learn the process itself: prompts, context, skills and an orchestra of agents. You can then build other games the same way.
How long does the course take?
77 lessons and about 6 hours of video. With practice, that's roughly 4–6 weeks at 4–5 hours a week. There are no deadlines, so go at your own pace.
What if I get stuck?
Every lesson has a questions section where the author and other students answer. The author's code and files are attached to the lessons, so you can compare them with your project.
What if the course is not for me?
You have a 30-day money-back guarantee. Email support@lvlarena.games within 30 days of purchase and we will refund you.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. When you finish all lessons, you get a personal LVLARENA certificate.
