JOIN THE GAME
The story:
Opening your eyes after a deep sleep, you find that you are in the wild, but it seems to be slightly different – the plants are bright green, the rivers are transparent, and there are unseen mythical creatures all around you. Slightly in the distance you notice a group of people, each of them surrounded by domesticated animals who listen to them and defend them. You quickly realize that you also need to gather a team of X mythical creatures around you in order to be able to resist…

Choose one of the three tasks depending on your desire in which area of the game industry you want to develop and send it to us by June 15 (11:59 pm.)
Concept Art:
Show us how your imagination and conceptual thinking work by drawing how you imagine one of the characters or the environment in the game.
3D Art:
Introduce us to the main character or the environment in the game that you would like to model in 3D. And don’t limit yourself to illustrations. You can also use clay, stop motion, paper or whatever you decide will best present your idea.

Jury
There is nothing more difficult than appreciating someone else’s work. Especially when it comes to something as subjective as solving a creative task. For this reason, our jury consists only of professionals with many years of experience in the gaming industry, who have participated in hundreds of competitions and know very well what it’s like to be on the other side.
