Excited and immensely proud that almost exactly one year ago today we started our first round of The Games Hub!
Kicking off with this lovely bunch followed 6 months later by these handsome devils
all staring wide-eyed into the over-bright headlights of games development!
One year on and it’s been a success beyond anything we imagined.
- 26 people have taken part
- 7 teams in total
- 2 teams still with us
- 4 teams currently taking part
- Set up 2 companies in the first 6 months
- Two games released
- Fallen having more than 50,000 downloads in the first 2 weeks
- 15 expert visits from, the worlds of games and business
- Press coverage on from Radio 1, Colchester Gazette, EADT, BBC News and more!
- Next round starting November 2015
It’s been an amazing year and we can’t wait for the next. And we also can’t thank enough all those who have helped it become such a huge success, without them the hub simply wouldn’t exist or be able to have such amazing achievements!

- Birketts
- University of Essex
