Waiting for "Fun" is Killing Your Progress.
You stare at your prototype, tweaking values endlessly. Is it fun yet? Maybe if you change the speed? Maybe if you add a double jump?
You are designing by guesswork.
You rely on intuition and personal taste, which means when you hit a wall, you have no tools to climb over it. You get stuck because you can't explain why something works or why it fails.
Professional designers—Deep Game Designers—don't wait for inspiration to strike. They don't pray for "fun." They use a systematic process to engineer meaningful experiences on purpose.
It’s time to stop guessing and start thinking deeply.
THE DEEP DIVE: GAMEPLAY DESIGN
The 10-module video training system to master the CoralCore methodology and engineer rock-solid Gameplay Structures—without writing a single line of code.
Great games aren't accidents. They are engineered systems.
Yet, most creators skip the engineering and jump straight to building, only to realize their foundation is cracked when it's too late.
This course is the antidote to that chaos. It is a fundamental rewiring of your design brain. We strip away the graphics and code to focus exclusively on the Invisible Architecture—the hidden cause-and-effect logic that actually creates the experience.

Inside The Deep Dive, you will:
- Escape the "Fun Trap": Replace subjective guesswork with the Necessity Mindset, ensuring every mechanic justifies its existence.
- Cure "Player Myopia": Discover why your gamer instincts are actually your biggest liability, and learn to deconstruct games like a cognitive archaeologist.
- Master the CoralCore System: Use our step-by-step method to turn a vague idea into a detailed, testable Gameplay Structure before you open your engine.
The best part?
You can get access to this entire system—and the exclusive offer—for less than the price of a standard AAA video game.
Stop acting like a technician. Start thinking like an Architect.
I WAS EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE NOW.
Let me be brutally clear: I am not some famous director from a AAA studio.
My background is in software engineering. And not too long ago, I was lost in the same fog you are.
Driven by passion, I enrolled in the "best" game design school, expecting enlightenment. Instead, I found abstract theories and vague advice. I saw brilliant students crushing their confidence against the wall of trial-and-error, getting lost in code without understanding design.
I refused to accept that "guessing" was the only way.
That refusal sparked a five-year obsession to deconstruct the "magic" of game design into a teachable, repeatable science. When the academic world rejected my system for lacking "credentials," I battle-tested it myself.
The result is WhaleBrain.
I don't teach rules. I teach tools. My philosophy is built on three pillars:
⚓️ Depth over Dogma
We deconstruct games to understand how they work, so you can build whatever you want.
⚓️ Rigor over Romance
Waiting for inspiration is for amateurs. We use an engineering mindset to build ideas on demand.
⚓️ Pragmatism over Platitudes
If a theory doesn't help you solve a real problem in your project, it’s useless. I only teach what works.
