POLAND IN PIXELS | Team

Supervisors

Benjamin Hanussek and Chris Barney met in 2022 at BostonFIG in the United States, where they began regularly exchanging ideas for educational projects. In 2023, they met again when Chris was invited to teach a workshop on game design at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology. During this visit, the two decided to strengthen cooperation between their institutions. The cooperation aims to benefit students and experiment with innovative approaches to teaching game development, resulting in the "Poland in Pixels" project.

Mentors

A group of experts representing various industry professions, from 3D art to gameplay programming, have joined forces to regularly and thoroughly examine four game projects at every stage of their development. This collaboration provides professional support to students and can lead to the discovery of new talent among them. Mentors include representatives from leading gamedev companies such as 11 bit studios, Zakazane, Bloober Team and Techland.

Students

A group of students from around the world came together to take a unique step on their professional path. For four weeks, they worked in four teams on four different games. During this time, they perfected their creative collaboration skills under the guidance of industry professionals, which gave them their first glimpse of what it's like to work in a real game studio.
