The game industry Competence Map was originally created in Chips for Game Skills -project to cover the Finnish game industry scene. It was built together with game educators and professionals. In Gamebadges we will update the Map to reflect the European industry sector, and publish an edited version of it on winter 2024-2025.
The Map will cover all game industry related professional categories and different backgrounds: bronze competence goals are for the juniors and graduating game students; silver covers most of the independent professional level, and gold is reserved for the gurus of the industry.
In 2024 we collect feedback and comments on the current version and the update needs. If you would like to contribute, please contact us or follow the News for latest updates.
