It's been one year since we launched the GamesIndustry.biz Academy, and the section has gone from strength to strength since then.
With the aim to both support the next generation of game developers and provide resources to existing members of the games industry, the Academy produced over 250 guides to making, funding, monetising, promoting and working in video games in the last year. These articles were produced by the
GamesIndustry.biz team of course, but we also collaborated with over 100 external contributors, experts in their fields, who shared knowledge in our pages.
In October, with the support of Creative Assembly, we organised a digital event designed to connect university and college students with games industry professionals in the UK -- GI Live: Academy, during which more than 1,500 students and 40 games companies joined a Discord server to meet and network. You can watch the event here.
