Where your support will go to?
Here are the primary areas where your support of GameDev Estonia contributes and adds the most value to Estonian game development:
- Rent for the GameDev HUB is currently one of the most significant parts of our budget. When we first launched the HUB earlier this year, we had two large sponsors on board who we expected to fully support this effort. However, due to financial constraints, they had to temporarily discontinue their support. Currently, HUB members cover about 70% of the HUB's expenses; therefore, we need constant support to cover the remaining expenses.
- While we manage to organize various events throughout the year, we aspire to do much more. We aim to host more meetups, invite experts from around the world to educate our community, and assist Estonian game developers in showcasing their games and services at more game development conferences. All this needs extra budget.
- We are planning to start various educational programs in the GameDev HUB training class to improve the overall level of expertise of current Estonian game development companies as well as to teach students and all who are interested in getting into the game development industry. We plan to teach various subjects such as 3D Art for Games, Animation, Game Design, Concept Art, among others.
- Currently, we lack full-time employees and rely solely on the enthusiasm of our team, as they also have other commitments outside of GameDev Estonia. With full-time employees, we would be able to increase the number of events we do throughout the year, advertise our activities properly, and have a stable growth plan.
We maintain complete transparency regarding all our expenses and spendings, so feel free to reach out if you require any additional information.
