The Universal GameDev Challenge is a competition that includes five iconic worlds from Universal Studios. From the classic Back to the Future™ and Jaws films to the more recent Voltron and Battlestar Galactica reboots, the Universal GameDev Challenge celebrates the creativity of game developers designing and building a game with Unity.
The first stage challenges the entire developer community to submit their idea in a Game Design Doc, and pitch it in a short video. Six entries will be chosen by a panel of expert judges. Stage two will see a select few invited to an exclusive VIP Mentorship Summit to work with visionaries, engineers, and spokespeople from Universal, Microsoft, Intel and Unity to help them make the most of their project.
The final few will be tasked with creating a vertical slice of their game using Unity, and submit for the ultimate goal: a consultancy agreement with Universal and the chance to make their game a reality.
Every contestant gets the opportunity of a lifetime to design a game for an iconic world.
Stage One Deliverables:
- One Game Design Document (up to 13 pages)
- One pitch video introducing yourself, your team, your experience, and your idea
- Optional: Supplementary content such as concept art, videos, models, or story.
- All deliverables must remain private
