ACHIEVERS HUB is an initiative driven by heart and ambition, actively contributing to the growth and success of game developers, big or small.
Astrid Huntjens,

Our project would have remained at the prototype level without ACHIEVERS HUB. Now I clearly understand what the game will be like in the completed stage. We parsed our game with the mentor for almost two hours. After our dialogue, all questions disappeared and it became clear what to do next.
Fish&Frost Team
Now we feel more confident in the negotiations and look more realistically at our game and expectations from it. Mentors told the truth about the strengths and weaknesses of the project. It is inspiring & motivating.
Bimba Entertainment Team
Good quality games presented in a structured way.

The most of our educational activities are online. You can participate in our program from wherever you are, no relocation is needed.
There is no deadline for an application. In a fast emerging, rapidly changing industry like ours, it’s crucial to get support and launch the game when the time is right. You don’t need to wait for “the next batch”. Our application form is always open.
The support program length is flexible. We understand that different products need different amounts of time before launching, so we help the teams during the entire project lifecycle.
We accept projects starting from the first playable version. If it represents the core gameplay and main functional gameplay elements, you’re fine.
Currently, we’re mainly looking for mobile, PC and browser games, as the most of the mentors in our community are focused on these platforms. However, we’re constantly widen our mentors’ network so you may apply the game on any platform and we’ll find out how we can help you.
First of all, we can help you understand, if you really need a publisher or not. But whether you’re looking for a publisher or want to self-publish, whether it’s your first game or you have already published titles, we will help you get your games into the market efficiently.
We will be happy to help you identify and improve the reasons why you still don’t have funding. We will help you with the tools, strategy, research, and teach you how to effectively pitch and make your game appealing to publishers and investors.
