Bed, Board & Bed
Free housing and three home-cooked meals a day (vegetarian or vegan). Plus a €500 stipend to sweeten the warren.
Travel Covered
We help with local and international travel costs — prioritizing those who need it most so distance is never the reason you can’t hop in.
A Game Making Lab
A shared dev lab, cozy solo nooks, and warm little rooms for team jams. Build, breakdown, and build again.
Coaches & Workshops
Workshops and tailored team coaching from industry pros on pitching, narrative, marketing, tech, or whatever your game needs.
Forest & Focus
Hosted at Coconat A Workation Retreat in the Brandenburg countryside. Forest walks, shared meals, and the kind of quiet that lets ideas surface.
A Fluffle of Peers
An international mix of devs — aiming for 50% marginalized genders and welcoming teams from the Global South and underrepresented communities.
