Let’s make a game

Now it’s time for you to shine. To form a team, create a game design document, construct a mini-game and build a plan to market it. Next, it’s your turn to pitch to the publisher and, if approved, create the assets and submit the game for publishing by Unseen Galaxy. We’ll let you know when the game is available so you can tell your friends and family and engage with people on social channels to promote your game.

For many, this will be your first published game. The start of a career could see you becoming a fully-fledged member of the games industry, where you will go on to be part of even more games and entertainment experiences. You are the future of the game industry, and this is where you start to build it.

Download the brief and the guides below and work with your lecturers to create your game and submit it for publishing to us. Concept pitches should be sent to submissions@unseen-galaxy.com.
