What is ProtoPlay?
In case you’re new to Tranzfuser, let us give you a quick overview of what the competition entails; over the summer our entrepreneurial graduate teams have been working on the development of their own-IP game to produce a working prototype. Each has benefited from the wealth of learning materials taking part in Tranzfuser gives them access to, alongside the tailor-made community support they’ve received in the shape of our network of Facilitators (made up of members of past UK Games Fund supported companies) and their own Local Hub*.
*Local Hubs are bases at which teams would come together to work on their project and take part in any support activity set up by the Hub.
The winners of this year’s Tranzfuser will be invited to join the UK Games Fund portfolio of funded companies to further develop their project commercially. Details about the winning teams will be shared via the UK Games Fund website soon.
ProtoPlay Live: Coming Soon!
Protoplay Live will see our expert in-house stream team showcase gameplay from all 19 teams.
