BEHIND THE STADIA MAKERS Stadia has showcased the first set of games released under its Stadia Makers program Chris Wallace talks to the developers to find out more about the games, and the program itself STADIA has unveiled the first set of games to come to the platform as part of its ‘Stadia Makers’ program. The program, which is run in partnership with Unity, is designed to encourage more indie developers to self-publish their titles on Google’s streaming platform. It offers three key benefits to the studios chosen: technical support from the Unity team, up to five physical development kits, and direct funding from Google to assist with the costs of bringing a game to Stadia.
Today Stadia has unveiled the first seven games coming to Stadia as part of the program, Fireheart Games’s TOHU, Bedtime Digital’s Figment: Creed Valley & Figment, Furyion Games’ Death Carnival, Vox Game Studio’s Kaze and the Wild Masks, Spooky Doorway’s The Darkside Detective Season 2, 2 Ton Studios’ Unto The End and Fishing Cactus’ Nanotale – Typing Chronicles. To find out more about the games, and the benefits of being part of the program, we reached out to each of the seven studios.
