Two Games a Month Incubator

The ideal program for anyone who wants to join the indie game scene

2 GAMES A MONTH

An 18 week indie game dev program

Making it big in the game tech industry, entertainment or applied, is a challenge. There are many hurdles to overcome as a young developer with limited experience:

Running through a full game production cycle without losing months worth of resources
Researching commercially viable game concepts
Finding the right funding and support for your games
Project & team management in a commercial setting

Building a community and learning how to develop a game with your end user in mind
Creating the right business model

Often the problem is in the mindset of the ambitious game developers: ‘This is my way too big dream project, I shall develop it right away and make a fortune’. Having never run through the full game production cycle – from ideation to release – starting such a project will most probably end up in a failure, or worse: a financial hangover for the developers.

Testimonials

There is nothing quite as satisfying as watching a concept evolve into something with potential. I noticed this when we were making our game 'Garrett', which eventually got ported over to mobile, a change I would've never come up with myself. It really shows you how valuable the input of other people is when it comes to game design.

I thought that the Two Games a Month program was an interesting concept since I love to work on prototypes. You learn best by doing things which is what makes this program so good. I only took part in one game sprint, but it's made me want to do it again! Maybe next year.

I took part in the program to broaden my horizons and learn new things. I don't think I could have found a better place to do my internship at. Here, it didn't feel like a work environment, the atmosphere is playful and just fun - all while thinking about games with potential!

In the beginning, I thought that making a prototype in two weeks would never work but it is perfectly doable. I had a lot of fun making our game 'Scribbles of Madness' because the team and concept is great. Two games a month lets me be involved in the whole game dev process, which I really love!

The program felt like a non-stop game jam where you have to be creating constantly. What I enjoyed the most is applying the finishing touches to a prototype an the player-testing phase. I was pulled out of my comfort zone and I got better at everything I needed to get better at. Except for baking, I didn't have time for that.

I'm not a game developer but doing my internship here allowed to pick up a thing or two about the industry. Writing blogs, handling the social media and managing the Discord are just a few things I do here! The atmosphere is great, the people are hilarious and I get to work with games in a role I love to do. It's almost like a dream come true!
