The game development process, for digital and analog games alike,
involves many different knowledge areas and because of it, could
help in increasing a diverse range of skills. In this context, this
article reports the experience of an extension project which offered,
via an open to the public, online platform, a course about the basic
concepts of game development. In order to achieve that, a series of
livestreams were transmitted, in which a variety of game creation
topics were discussed, including, but not limited to: game design,
probabilities studies, basic programming logic and resources used
in game development. This was done in hopes of increasing the
