The working producer's guide to AI in game development
AI is changing game production faster than any single tool can keep up with. This 12-lesson course teaches the producer skills that stay relevant regardless of what ships next: context architecture, output taste, prompt precision, and knowing when to take the wheel.

About the Course
Game production is changing faster than job descriptions can keep up. AI tools are embedded in pipelines, team workflows, and creative processes. But most guidance on AI in games is aimed at engineers, artists, and game designers. Producers are expected to manage it all without a framework for how.
This course gives you that framework. Twelve lessons across two modules cover the five transferable producer skills that stay relevant regardless of which AI tools your studio adopts next. You will learn how to build a context architecture that survives session resets, how to apply investigative rigour to AI-generated output, how to forecast delivery with confidence, and how to make your competence legible to stakeholders who are watching AI change what production looks like.
This is not a tool tutorial. The tools will change. The course is built around the skills that outlast them.
About the Instructor
Rob Sandberg is the Game Production Alchemist. He started writing games on an Apple II as a teenager in the 1980s and has been making them professionally for over thirty years. As a producer he has shipped dozens of titles across mobile, console, PC, VR and web, from concept through to live operations.
The credits include award-winning AAA work, top-grossing apps that earned billions (yes, billions with a B), games with major licensed brands, budget Walmart shovel-ware, some of the lowest-ranking releases on record, and more cancelled projects than he can count. Every one of them taught him something. He wears his scars with pride.
He writes about game production and AI at Game Production Alchemist on Substack: productionalchemist.com
He lives in Buckinghamshire, in the shadow of the Chiltern Hills, writing from a secret laboratory in an undisclosed location. In late August each year he can be found at the 10/7 Bar at the Tokyo Ranger Outpost in Black Rock City, Nevada.
