Build A Rocket Boy

Accepting Applications for Sparks: Game Making with EVERYWHERE🚀 We’re excited to partner with Build A Rocket Boy to deliver Sparks: Game Making with EVERYWHERE to our community. This is a unique opportunity to learn the foundations of game making in EVERYWHERE from the developers themselves, and have your game showcased on their platform! EVERYWHERE is a community-driven game world and haven for creativity. Players are empowered with the same building tools used by Build A Rocket Boy to create within the game so you can contribute to the world as well. This creates an ever-expanding and evolving experience, where every day is different, and all communities are welcome. With workshops from Build A Rocket Boy and support from Code Coven, you'll have the opportunity to learn how to develop games, (virtually) rub elbows with working developers, and get advice on starting your game development journey. This is an incredible opportunity for aspiring game developers, we’re excited to see the innovative projects you all develop! Applications are open to game developers of marginalised genders, apply here: https://lnkd.in/edpaZFfg **Applications close on the 21st of July 2024 at 23:59 BST.** We’d like to thank Build A Rocket Boy for their commitment to inclusion and for joining us in our mission of providing free education to marginalised game developers.
