Threadbare is a whimsical open-source free game where anyone can play, create, and contribute, restoring a world of stories through community game-making.
We're building Threadbare, a whimsical, open-source game where learners 16+ become Storyweavers, shaping a world through real code, art, and storytelling. It's not just play, it’s meaningful creation.
Threadbare is a global, open-source community where learners, educators, and mentors co-create a living game. Every quest, minigame, and lore entry is a real contribution. Students collaborate using tools like Godot and Git—building the game, shaping the world, and growing together as creators.
Students build skills that go beyond: coding gameplay mechanics, designing player experiences, creating digital art, managing open-source projects, and iterating through real feedback. Threadbare, our curriculum and our support give learners the tools to build games, and the experience of building them together.
More: Threadbare is a community game-making learning 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.
