Things have changed a lot since COVID-19 hit us, but that doesn’t mean we’ve stopped making games. In fact, now is better than ever to express yourself through video game design!
You are invited to participate in a Make Room! inter-studio digital game making challenge. All submitted games will be released right here on the Make Room! website. And the theme for the challenge is...
Alone Together
Create a video game that plays with this theme. Through look and feel, or mechanics, your game should respond to this theme in some way.
Games are due by April 30. Submitted games will be playtested and voted on by youth game makers from other studios, your instructors, our partners at Manny Cantor Center and Yukodit, and potentially even some of the game developers here at E-Line Media. Show us your best work!
Submit a Game
