Environment Pathway (aka Save the World)
Work with key stakeholders to create a game with a purpose that communicates an environmental message relevant to the themes of COP26.
Who should Apply?
You’ll be a team of graduates from relevant disciplines – including art and programming – excited about using games to positively impact the planet.
Your team will be confident in using skills developed at university to create a prototype but are looking to further their knowledge of environmental issues relevant to the Pathway Brief.
Expected deliverables by the end of Environment Pathway
- A playable prototype which clearly demonstrates a relevant environmental theme and is ready to showcase publicly
- A clear design pitch – highlighting how they are going to change hearts and minds with their game
- A cohesive team that works well together and is ambitious to make games with a purpose
Team Criteria
- Team size 3-6 team members
(we have found this is the optimum number for development during the programme) - All team members must be able to commit to full time work on their prototype during the programme (approx 35 hrs per week). We have found that teams who are unable to commit this time during the programme are unable to deliver to the quality and standard as teams who work full time and so are immediately at a disadvantage when it comes to submitting final deliverables
- The team should have relevant mix of disciplines
- Graduated between 2019 – September 2021
- Can work remotely or be represented by a Local Hub
Game IDea
- We’ll be announcing more on this soon – don’t rush to decide this yet
- Can be linked to a commercial / enterprise opportunity provided the ethics are sound
What do teams get out of it?
- All teams to receive a £5,000 prize allocated during the course of the competition
- Access to Games Biz Academy Bootcamp which provides key indie dev learning and training awarding teams with digital credentials
- Access to a relevant expert organisation and named contact
- Midway review
- Introduction to UK Games Fund community and network
- Virtual Showcase
- Opportunity to be seen by UK Games Fund in the event of commercial possibilities
