Over the course of 12 weeks, participants will progress through a structured curriculum focused on three core pillars: creative development, production excellence, and entrepreneurial strategy. From refining game design and storytelling to mastering budgeting, pitching, and marketing, the program equips teams with the skills to bring a playable game to life and prepare it for launch.
Teams receive personalized mentorship, access to high-quality educational content, and expert sessions tailored to their specific needs. Collaboration is encouraged through a remote-office setup via Discord, while a curated Knowledge Centre offers over 1,000 resources to support independent learning. The program culminates in a live Demo Day, where each team presents a Beta-quality game and investor-ready pitch deck.
