Search For A Star + Rising Star 2024

Development Project

Students are asked to create a original game character for use in UE5. Students will need to show evidence of their full development process, from pre-production, production and post-production, through to the final presentation.

Full project briefs, instructions & supporting documents are released to participating students via Grads In Games.

This project is designed to emulate the aspects of a studio development process, including documenting and following a production pipeline.

Please note this jam is only open to students who have registered to take part in Search For A Star / Rising Star 2023 - further details on the challenge series can be found over at Grads In Games.
