History

Game Garden Academy started by Dutch Game Garden in 2017. Since 2008, Dutch Game Garden has been working closely with over 40 game startups, earning a ton of valuable information about how game studios work, their strengths and their pitfalls. Most game developers want to make the best game ever. Yet, game developers miss out on a lot of opportunities simply because they do not have the know-how of how to deal with the other side: running a business. Business expertise is lacking in the industry, especially in small teams. With Game Garden Academy, we aim to provide developers the foundation they need to get started on a wide range of subjects that will cross your path as a game developer.
