Competence Map

The game industry Competence Map for the European game industry is now launched and available on map.gamebadges.eu.

The Map covers 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.

The Competence Map was created in close cooperation with game educators and game industry professionals. The development process included workshops at game industry events, interviews with both educators and professionals, as well as surveys.

If you would like to share your ideas and feedback about the Map, please contact us or follow the News for latest updates.
