A Rose Ave course · Waitlist open
PlayableCharacter
Put yourself in the game. Learn the workflow Jesse Wellens uses to turn a few photos of you into open world gameplay that looks like it came off a console.
The game that doesn’t exist
Every street, mission and HUD here was made with AI.
No game engine. No 3D team. One creator, a few photos and the right prompts. This is the workflow you learn, with you as the main character.
How it works
Three steps from selfie to gameplay.
Create your character
Turn a handful of photos into a game character, with a character sheet that keeps you looking like you in every shot.
Build your world
Design the city, the cars, the missions and the HUD that make it read like a real open world game.
Press play
Prompt the gameplay shots, cut them into a trailer and post it like the game is real.

Questions
Before you press start.
When does the course open?
Soon. Join the waitlist and you’ll hear first when enrollment opens.
How much will it cost?
The price is announced at launch, and the waitlist hears it first.
Do I need experience with AI or editing?
No. If you can take a photo and type a sentence, you can follow along. Level 06 covers the editing basics.
What tools do I need?
A computer and accounts with an AI image tool and an AI video tool. Jesse uses ChatGPT for images and Seedance for video, and the course shows you how to set up both.
Can I put my friends in it, or set it in my city?
Yes. The same workflow works for any person, any city and any kind of mission.
Is this based on a real video game?
No. You build an original game: your character, your city and your missions. The course teaches original worlds, not copies of games that already exist.
Press start.
