"Learned a ton"

Corbin Reeves

"Incredibly insightful"

"Last year, I had the absolute pleasure of attending Marie Mejerwall's Masterclass in Boss Fight Design. Over the course of seven weeks, Marie shared some incredibly insightful boss design knowledge and practices that she attained in her 15+ years of industry experience. Especially her direct and individualized feedback during the course helped me a lot to refine my design skills!

Keep an eye [...] if you want to join her next masterclass, I most definitely recommend it!"

"Great experience"

"Last week I finished Marie Mejerwall Boss Design masterclass. Combat design and boss design are some of my favourite parts of game design along with level design. I've been learning by myself over the years but I have to say that thanks to this masterclass I'm now much clearer about my knowledge, I've learned more stuff I didn't know and how to document it and transmit it to a team.

Of course I recommend you to be attentive to any masterclass of Marie Mejerwall. It has been a great experience."
