Okay, so I know we are a game studio, but hear me out... What if we made an educational course? 

Yup, you heard that correctly! What if we made an educational course on game design/development? Pretty cool, right? A blending of my hobby of being a game professor and my day job of keeping an awesome game studio afloat. Honestly, a match made in heaven (In my opinion); the only downside? It's a completely NEW game engine for us, and there's a lack of documentation because it's so brand new. 

Sounds like a fun challenge! So we partnered with Creatify.GG to bring their vision for the future of game development education to life. See Creatify is working on the first Game Design and Development focused E-Learning Platform. The only thing they were missing was a team that had both the professional experience and the educational experience to make it happen. That's where we come in!

Azure Ravens is going to be developing Creatify's educational catalog starting with over 10 courses in UEFN! Then, we are going back to the beginning with the Foundation's catalog, creating courses that can support early game developers. Now, you didn't learn it from me, but the rumor is that Creatify and Azure Ravens are planning an Advanced and Expert catalog as well to support game developers at every stage of their careers. That would be pretty wild! 

Enough talk about what we are going to do; what did we do?

We created Desert Duels. With over 15+ hours of content, we teach the ins and outs of UEFN through a project-based learning approach, building a 1v1-style game mode that pits players against each other in a Winner Stays format.

Turns out that UEFN is pretty impressive; in my previous blog post, I mentioned that Epic Games had already paid out a pretty impressive $320 Million to creators working in the space. Now I completely understand why. The possibility of what you can build in UEFN is expanding every day. With more brands and people looking to make their mark on digital ecosystems, I can see UEFN becoming incredibly popular in the near future. 

As we start on the next course, I will make sure to get some more behind-the-scenes looks for you all and share the creative process. We will also be launching some UEFN maps of our own soon so keep an eye out for more info!
