It’s hard to escape or be blind to the images of pain and suffering all around us. It is harrowing and unprecedented in more ways than one can properly convey into words.
However, as we have seen in recent years, despite the well documented issues within this industry of ours, we have also displayed a remarkable ability to rally around those in need and sometimes caught in the middle of things beyond their control.
It feels disingenuous to say, but one of the reasons behind an initiative like Bright Gambit was to support the many creators using game development as a means for expression. We used the term underserved, but what exactly does that mean? It means persons like you and me who for whatever reason have been held back or faced challenges funding or without the support needed to embark on their own game development journey.
Along with the rest of the games industry we stand completely and unreservedly with Ukraine and hope to find and support many creators who will be hurting and in need for us to put our arms around them from Ukraine and beyond.
