"Thanks to all that have submitted to join us this year, we appreciate and applaud your efforts so far!”

"Tranzfuser 2023 really does offer the lucky teams that are selected the very best opportunity to take their idea for a game and turn it into a sustainable, profitable and ongoing business.”

This year’s Global Game Jam saw close to 40,000 participants submit their games across the network of more than 100 countries. The Tranzfuser sponsored Diversifier – Hidden Heritage – proved incredibly popular.

“Tranzfuser is without doubt one of the best ways for budding entrepreneurs fresh out of university to get a foothold in the industry.

Competitively selected Tranzfuser alumni independent game development studios came to Dundee from across the UK for DunDev.

The past Tranzfuser studios are settled into DunDev and all progressing well.

Now is the time to start to consider the game idea that you want to work on during Tranzfuser, and spend some quality time thinking ‘BIG’ about it BEFORE applications open and your team are selected to participate.

The addition of these young and talented studios to the UK Games Fund portfolio further strengthens the indie dev sector in the UK as one that continues to grow and thrive.

The teams were challenged not only to engage with the show attendees over the four days - they also had the opportunity to pitch to the UK Games Fund panel for the potential to secure grant support of up to £20,000 for the continued development of their games as professional independent video games development studios.

As with every year of the competition, we continue to be impressed by the standard of work and entrepreneurial passion from the teams.
