We applied to Tranzfuser as we have talked with previous participants and all sung praises about it and how it helped them on their path to become established studios, which is currently the greatest goal we wish to achieve and be part of the up and coming indie studio space. Tranzfuser provides us with the opportunity to work on our own game prototype, while also developing our business and pitching skills alongside industry professionals, which will undoubtedly prepare us for the future and avoid common mistakes. Not only that, but the mentorship support and networking opportunities will have a massive impact and great value in our team's future.
