The best games by the brightest stars

Unseen Galaxy exists to spot and develop talent that the games industry might normally miss. Teams are formed to tackle real industry briefs to create mini-games, complete with marketing plans to support the release. The games are then pitched to industry experts, and the best are published on itch.io for FREE.

If you are a student and would like to form a team and develop a game to be published by Unseen Galaxy, then click HERE. If you are an educator interested in the Unseen Galaxy project please find out more HERE.

WHAT IS UNSEEN GALAXY?

Since its launch in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has revolutionised our view of the universe. Its location in space and advanced astronomical technology allowed astronomers to see parts of the universe they had never seen before, from the birth of a star in the Eagle Nebula to light from a star 12.9Billion light years away from Earth. It is these discoveries that inspired Unseen Galaxy.

Our mission is to uncover talented individuals, like you. Unseen Galaxy aims to show you the potential of a career in games, be that in art, programming, production, marketing, community, or whatever aspect of the industry you might enjoy most. We give you a view of the whole business of games: as development teams, you will create a game but also work to deliver the supporting marketing plans and design documents. Our goal is to forge groups which understand all aspects of publishing and the creation of video games.

By opening up these aspects of the business, we hope to show you potential careers as full of wonder and possibility as the universe.
