Xsolla’s Unreal Engine KL Meetup Highlights New Opportunities for Developers

Xsolla held their Unreal Engine Meetup recently, in collaboration with the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC). The event gathered more than 30 different companies and over 100 attendees to explore potential partnerships and collaborations.

The event, held at Xsolla KL, brought together game developers, industry experts, and gaming enthusiasts for a day showcasing inspiring keynotes, invaluable networking opportunities, and a talk by Malaysian studio, AeonSparx.

The studio’s cartoony shooter, Zombie Soup, was recently released, allowing the development team to showcase their inspiring accomplishments and lessons in developing the game during the event. Attendees also received insights and useful notes for their future projects during the talk.

Xsolla and Curine also provided more details on their game development academy, the Xsolla Curine Center of Excellence. This initiative offers three distinct options for aspiring game developers.

The first is a specialized one-year program in the Game Development Academy designed by Xsolla's team of experienced professionals. The program aims to close the skill gap by preparing students for employability and life in the industry.

There’s also the Game Incubator, which will provide mentorship for every aspect of game development, focusing on the importance of business and marketing skills. Participants will be guided in developing and applying these skills to their games, preparing them for the Accelerator program.

Additionally, students will be granted access to the Accelerator program, which is dedicated to indigenous studios and talents aiming to establish a successful business with the support of bridge funds and mentorship.

"The gaming community is at the heart of everything we do! Our mission is to empower game developers to do their best work. The Unreal Engine Meetup is just one of the many community meetups we aim to support, fostering cross-learning between studios and developers," said Xsolla KL Managing Director, Narishvin Sukumaran.

This event marks a significant step for Xsolla as they continue to make strides in supporting the game community in Malaysia. With the Xsolla Curine Center of Excellence on the horizon, aspiring developers can look forward to honing their skills and accessing unique opportunities within the Unreal Engine ecosystem.
