AI-Native Modding + Game Building Workshop
APAC DAO, Fenris Creations (creators of EVE Frontier), and YGG Play invite builders, game designers, AI-native creators, and worldbuilders to a curated ideation workshop. Whether you want to build inside EVE Frontier’s massively moddable MMO, or vibe code an entirely new game with YGG Play, this workshop is designed to help you explore the possibilities.
This event focuses on inspiration, ecosystem exploration, and early-stage concept development, welcoming everyone from experienced developers already developing a game, to first-time vibe coders sitting on a half-formed idea, to those who are simply curious about the future of AI-assisted modding, game creation, and permissionless publishing.
The session will run from 3–8pm (including networking drinks at the end) and is designed for a small cohort of 25–30 selected builders. You'll hear from EVE Frontier's Hilmar and YGG Play's Gabby, get hands-on walkthroughs of both ecosystems, and spend dedicated time developing and refining your game idea with mentors on hand throughout. The evening closes where attending VCs will review concepts, share feedback, and connect with promising builders.
