Meet Kyle Landon, a Vertex School graduate who transformed his ambition into reality by mastering Unreal Engine and setting himself on the path to success in game development.
Choosing Vertex School
For Kyle, the journey into game development wasn’t just about learning software; it was about finding the right guidance to avoid years of frustration and misdirection. He knew Unreal Engine was a powerful but complex tool, and without expert mentorship, he risked feeling lost. That’s why he chose Vertex School.
“I wanted an accelerated path to mastering Unreal Engine, and Vertex offered the perfect blend of intensive learning and mentorship,” Kyle shares. “The structured curriculum and direct access to industry professionals gave me the confidence to dive in without wasting time.”

Unlike traditional four-year programs, Vertex focuses solely on industry-relevant skills, ensuring students develop the expertise and portfolio necessary to secure jobs in game development.
“For someone like me who was laser-focused on game development, Vertex was the obvious choice,” he explains. “Instead of spending years on unrelated coursework, I was able to learn directly from experienced professionals who are passionate about the industry and about teaching.”
An Unforgettable Learning Experience
Kyle describes his time at Vertex as transformative. Beyond the technical training in Unreal Engine, he was immersed in a collaborative learning environment that pushed him to grow.
“What truly stood out was the quality of the mentorship,” he says. “The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely invested in each student’s success. They were always available to answer questions, provide feedback, and encourage me when I faced challenges.”
The sense of community at Vertex was another highlight for Kyle. Learning alongside like-minded peers fostered a collaborative atmosphere where students supported and motivated each other.
