“Game development thrives when creators have access to the right tools and guidance,” said Peter Zetterberg, Senior Director of Xbox Game Camp. Guy Richards, Director at ID@Xbox, adds: “For example, our ID@Xbox program allows independent developers to self-publish their games on Xbox and Windows platforms.”
Howest University of Applied Sciences, which offers the leading Digital Arts & Entertainment (DAE) course, also plays an important role in the collaboration. Rik Leenknegt from Howest: “Together with Microsoft, we want to bring together education, tech giants and investors to lay strong foundations for creative startups.”
