Overview

More: Threadbare is a community game-making experience for advanced learners who are ready to shape the evolving world of Threadbare. Building on their foundational experience in Core: Threadbare, participants dive deeper into collaborative storytelling, world-building, and game development using Godot. This experience is offered for both self-guided and facilitated learning environments.

In this phase, learners take on real responsibilities in the Threadbare ecosystem—contributing to the official game through structured challenges and creative autonomy. Whether working solo, in small teams, or with a community, learners will contribute meaningful content that extends the lore and playability of Threadbare.

The experience is organized into six milestones, designed to be completed either independently or with a facilitator and mentors. If participating in the facilitated option, learners are encouraged to continue work outside of sessions to deepen their contributions.

Facilitator Tips

• Create a collaborative environment: Encourage learners to give and receive feedback regularly.
• Support flexible pacing: Let learners move ahead or slow down as needed; use checkpoints to regroup.
• Emphasize iteration: Help learners see their work as drafts-in-progress, not finished products.
• Use shared tools: GitHub for version control and documentation, Discord for communication, etc.
• Lean on industry mentors: Learners can access community mentors as they create, refine, and submit their work.
• Celebrate progress: Showcase contributions and reflections during final sessions.
