Our Story

Imagine a game with a code gun that shoots Javascript to create anything you can imagine in Unity, the world's greatest game engine. We have created a game that teaches you how to make games so that you can make the games that teach everything else. We believe you have the power to code the change you wish to see in the world by learning how to make games. We believe in a world beyond just making knowledge accessible, a world where all knowledge becomes playable. We believe we've found a way to make code literacy not just possible but fun for all so that this great art form we all enjoy called games becomes a gateway to a world where you don't just play games and consume information, you create games and make the world a stage where we are truly players in it leveling up our skills and achieving our aspirations through games.

We've decided to crowdfund our game with our fans. We get so many emails every day asking about getting early access to Code Hero that we want to give you a chance to not only get early access to the game but also to accelerate and enhance our development at the same time.

Who We Are
We're Primer Labs, a group of indy game developers founded by Alex Peake to make all knowledge playable. I'm Alex and I've spent the last year building Code Hero and bringing it to beta so you could play and learn.

Where We're Based
We're participants in the global hackerspace movement based at Noisebridge Hackerspace, San Francisco and involved in Hack The Future from Hacker Dojo, Mountain View.

The Impact

Code Hero teaches kids and adults alike how to write their first lines of code and make their first video games with Unity 3D.

If we don't get funding, it will take a lot longer to finish Code Hero, a lot of kids aren't going to learn programming and you're not going to get to play the beta versions early.


What We Need & What You Get

We've bootstrapped for our first year of development. Most of the team members have worked for free with their spare time because they believe in this project. And now that we have a beta in the works, we need money to work full time on it and turn it into a finished game. 


You Get The Code Hero Preorder with Early Private Beta Access!

We're going to sell 10,000-100,000 preorders of the game for $10 to raise a hundred thousand to a million dollars in preorders. We have over 9,000 people signed up for the beta on our site already, so the interest level should cover the resources we need to finish the game.

Most of the money a game takes to develop goes to paying brilliant creative people. We have a team of 7 developers and we have a number of super talented folks we'd like to hire who can help us knock features and technology and polish out of the park.

We've bootstrapped and borrowed from friends and family to get this far and raised 15K of seed money from our mentor Greg Miller to develop our beta. We've stretched that thin by relying on the volunteer efforts of most of the team. Now we have a beta to polish and develop into a full game.
