Voodoo, a leading player in the mobile games publishing industry, has unveiled its latest initiative – the Voodoo Academy – designed to empower the next generation of hyper-casual game developers. This comprehensive program aims to equip aspiring creators with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in the fast-paced world of mobile game development.
As part of this innovative initiative, experienced hyper-casual studios working with Voodoo will gain access to an online training platform, complete learning paths, and participate in training sessions to upskill their staff. This unique opportunity allows existing studios to stay ahead of the curve in the ever-evolving landscape of hyper-casual game development.
According to Stanislas Marchand, Lead of the Voodoo Academy, "We believe that with the right training from Voodoo experts, budding hyper-casual game developers can gain years of experience in just a few months. The Voodoo Academy is our way of putting this philosophy into practice, offering a free-to-access pathway for students to learn, share, and build long-lasting success with our guidance."
The program's inaugural event will take place on April 14th, featuring Blue Monkey Studio, who will share their expertise on successful game development. The Voodoo Academy is open to game development students, recent graduates, and newcomers to the hyper-casual industry.
As part of this comprehensive program, learners can expect:
- An online training platform with regular course uploads
- Live coaching sessions with direct contact with the Voodoo Publishing team
- Prizes for achieving milestones throughout the program, including $1,000 for the first three prototypes tested and up to $3,000 for high-potential prototypes
Starting a career in mobile game development can be challenging, especially for those new to the industry. The Voodoo Academy aims to provide students with access to knowledge, allowing them to learn what would otherwise take months or even years to acquire.
The courses are designed and delivered by Voodoo's publishing team, featuring on-demand presentations, virtual lectures, and live events. Additionally, learners will gain access to dedicated training sessions and one-on-one coaching to support their development journey.
Upon completion of the program, participants will gain access to Voodoo's publishing and testing platform, providing opportunities to partner with fellow Voodoo Academy students to form studios and secure further financial support for testing prototypes.
In a rapidly evolving industry like mobile game development, the Voodoo Academy offers a unique opportunity for existing studios to upskill their staff, ensuring they remain competitive in the fast-paced world of hyper-casual games.
