Learn what goes into making your favorite video games without the hefty price tag attached to college attendance. As any gamer knows, taking the most creative path to get to your destination will yield the best results. Right now, that path is the School of Game Design: Lifetime Membership because the cost has been dropped down to $49.

The American Psychological Association reports that video games provide cognitive and social benefits for those who are avid gamers, so investing in a program that helps you create new games can only be good for society. 

The School of Game Design is your firsthand look at game development and design with 120 hours of easy-to-follow, step-by-step video training and access to all additional or updated content. You'll discover how to make advanced 2D and 3D games that you can publish anywhere. You'll master computer modeling and animation techniques as well as develop both coding and digital artistry skills. The courses are suitable for beginners, but if you find yourself needing a cheat code along the way, instructors and professionals with over 16 years of game industry experience are on standby to help you level up.

Included with the courses is unlimited access to thousands of dollars in royalty-free game art and textures to help you design without worry. Over 75,00 developers have joined the School of Game Design and have started to create in just a few short hours, but the lifetime membership ensures you can take your time if you wish. Finish this year or when you're as old as Atari—no judgement here.

Completing the lessons in the School of Game Design is also convenient, thanks to streaming access via desktop web and mobile platforms for Mac and Windows. You can study the material at home, while you're waiting on line to vote, while you're soaking up the sun at the park, or anywhere else with an internet connection.

Your dream of creating the next best Zelda is right at your fingers for less than the price of the new Doom Eternal. Valued at $5990, the School of Game Design: Lifetime Membership is available for $49, a savings of 99%. Not looking to commit? You can also get a 3-year subscription for $29.99.

Prices subject to change.
