GnomeCode is a one-man game studio, content creator, and educator based in England.
I make Roblox games, produce content that has taught millions of people to code, and run a community of thousands of active developers.
It all started with a YouTube channel, a few scripting tutorials, and the discovery that people really love creating stuff.
Right now I'm building new games, creating tutorials, growing the GnomeCode Academy, and sharing the process through my YouTube.
Join the Gnomeland Discord to connect with other developers, get scripting help, and keep up with what's happening.

The GnomeCode YouTube channel was launched in December 2018. At the time, good resources and quality tutorials about scripting were not easy to come by. I wanted to contribute to the community and help devs take their first steps.
At 10K subscribers I wanted to do something to get people making, not just watching. So I ran the first GnomeJam — CubeJam — a game jam challenging developers to build an entire game inside a 16x16x16 cube. I was overwhelmed with hundreds of entries. The jams became a regular thing, and the community started building itself.
A subscriber's idea to recreate Piggy turned into something much bigger. The tutorial was never finished — but the game was. Teddy launched on Halloween 2020.
Most of 2021 was spent adding new chapters and content to Teddy. The game kept growing.
Meanwhile, more jams: SphereJam — use only spheres. LiveJam — a full game jam completed in one hour during a livestream. I always enjoy giving them a creative twist.
The Gnomeland Discord grew as more people found the tutorials and stuck around.
Launched the Tower Defense tutorial series. It went on to be my most successful series — millions of views, inspiring countless tower defence creations.
After many months of hard work, Teddy was ported to Zepeto and ZaiZai, reaching millions more players beyond Roblox.
Later in the year I attended the invite-only Roblox Developers Conference in San Jose.
Inspired by classic Roblox survival games like Natural Disaster Survival and Build to Survive.
I'd attempted this concept before with the first game but it didn't land. CS2 was a fresh start, building on everything I'd learned since then.
GnomeCode Academy launched — exclusive content, early video access, project files, and member-only livestreams for devs who want to go further.
Also released Sizzle a Sausage — a silly cooking game that came together as a fun side project.
800M+ game visits across Roblox, Zepeto, and ZaiZai. 200+ videos on YouTube. 18,000+ developers in the Gnomeland Discord. Games, tutorials, and community events reaching millions of players and creators worldwide.
Many viewers have gone from watching their first tutorial to shipping games with millions of plays of their own.
