Alaab SpaceComprehensive game development education for Arab learners — grounded in our own research and local knowledge, organized into curricula that start from foundational principles.
Most game development education for Arab learners is either direct translation of foreign curricula — with no cultural adjustment — or disconnected tutorials with no coherent learning path. Alaab Space builds curricula from the ground up: starting with what our research tells us about the industry, and what our localization work tells us about what's accessible in Arabic.
Education builds from culture upward — theory before tools, tools before projects.
Structured journeys through each of the four disciplines — usable independently or together.
🧩 Planet: Designs
From game culture and psychological foundations to practical level design and systems balancing.
⚙️ Planet: Software
From mathematics and programming fundamentals to building complete game systems in an engine.
🖼️ Planet: Visuals
From visual theory and Arabic aesthetic traditions to 2D/3D production and UI design.
🎵 Planet: Sounds
From acoustics and musical theory to composing, recording, and implementing audio in a game engine.
Every curriculum decision is traceable to a research finding. We don't teach conventions — we teach principles with evidence.
All original curricula are written in Arabic. Recommended external resources are clearly labelled by language.
Understanding why comes before learning how. Tools change — principles endure.
Examples, case studies, and projects draw on Arab culture, history, and the regional gaming market — not Western defaults.
We recommend the best global resources — clearly rated and contextualized — rather than trying to replace everything.
Game development evolves rapidly. All learning paths are versioned and updated as the research and industry change.
We partner with the best global platforms so Arab learners have clear, trusted paths to quality paid resources.
Our curricula and recommendations are published on the wiki.
Free to read, study, and build on.
