We support Ontario's game industry through consulting and mentorship.

We've got a team to support you.

Mentorship

It can be intimidating and tough to secure mentorship when you're just starting out. We offer personalized mentorship to students and people new to the gaming industry. We can guide your studio's launch from the ground up. We'll help you make sense of business planning, policies, your minute book, registering and
incorporating, project management and securing funding. We seal the deal with clear contracts that respect your rights and game ownership. We also clearly outline mentee and mentor responsibilities and mentorship duration to ensure our support is delivered on time.

Here's an example of a project for which we provided mentorship and consultation on game design, art, and accessibility: Silent Signals by Vicki Li.
