Workshop - November 14th, 8 am PST / 4 pm GMT
Sign up now for the Crayta workshop series and get inspired to design, build and publish in Crayta.
Crayta is the game and world creation platform that anyone can use. It is a truly collaborative game creation platform built on Unreal Engine 4 - you and your friends can jump in and create games together in the cloud, regardless of your experience.
Play from an endlessly growing library of user-generated multiplayer games across a huge variety of genres.
The Crayta Workshop Series: (need to add description of the two workshops)
This series of workshops will explore creating games in Crayta, focusing on applied game design to build compelling and appealing virtual worlds. Learn the techniques that underpin successful games, and develop a competitive offering for one of our regular competitions like the November $200K Mega Jam*.
Session 1: Introduction To Crayta
Before the session
Half an hour before the session, you will be encouraged to meet on the Discord, head into Crayta and meet in the hub. Crayta has collaboration and multiplayer at it’s heart, so this is a great opportunity to get to know other people in the community.
Play some games, try out link sharing to jump into the same game as others.
Customise your Avatar - earn Crayta XP through challenges in the hub and by playing games to unlock new customisation options.
