Hey everybody!
We’re excited to announce that we’ll be partnering with Into Games this year! Into Games are a wonderful charity based here in the UK, who focus on supporting working-class and low-income talent step into and build a career in the video games industry. As part of their mission they provide:
- Interactive games careers workshops in secondary schools with a high provision of free school meals
- Distribution of a regional Boost bursary to support individuals from low-income backgrounds get their first role in games
- Get into Games festival to help talent get the advice and guidance they need towards a career in games
Over the years, Chucklefish has been lucky enough to be a workplace for people from all sorts of backgrounds. Different cultures, different economic upbringings, and different life experiences (and different tastes in games!). Because we see the value of that mix every day in our own studio and in our games, this is a topic that’s incredibly close to our hearts. We know first-hand that games are stronger, richer, and more interesting when they’re made by a team that reflects the real world. This is why we’re so proud to back Into Games this year, and support them in opening the same doors for the next generation of developers.
