Transmedia Game Jam is looking for developers!

Are you an aspiring game developer looking for opportunities in the industry, a small indie team looking to start a new project, or maybe a professional who wants to try something different?

Consider applying for the Transmedia Game Jam accelerator programme.

🎬➡️🎮 Work together with people from award winning animation and film studios to create a prototype game based on already existing media, in a game jam style event.

📣 Working with already established IPs is a great way to kickstart interest in a game. Instead of building from scratch, it allows you to create something for already existing fans.

🚀 You will also be supported by mentors from the industry and get the opportunity to pitch your project to investors after the jam.

Do you or your team want to take part in driving the creative process of converting film and animation to an interactive format?

👉 Apply today at: www.helsinkifilmlab.fi/transmedia-game-jam-helsinki-edition
The application deadline is December 12th.
Applicants are required to be based in Finland.
