We’re delighted to announce our most recent partnership with the wonderful folks at 10:10 Games! Over the next year, Into Games is delighted to be working with 10:10 Games to forge new pathways into the games industry, while also helping establish the foundation of an inclusive, accessible and built-for-success studio.

The newly established independent studio 10:10 Games was founded in the summer of 2021 by industry veterans. We’re elated to be working with such knowledgeable individuals who can make a real change to the industry, such as CEO, Creative Director, and five-time BAFTA award winner Jon Burton, and Co-Founder Arthur Parsons who has an impressive 24+ years of experience in games. 

10:10 Games have recently announced their upcoming collaboration with the Funko brand, and they plan to develop and release an AAA Action Platformer together in 2023. 

Head of Partnerships & Development at Into Games, Brandon Cole, proudly said this about the partnership:

"Arthur Parsons of 10:10 Games has long been a believer in the work we do at Into Games, and has helped us trial, protorype, (and sometimes mess up) much of our early educational work in the early months of Into Games. Now, he's brought that same dedication and enthusiasm for supporting education, diverse talent, and new routes into the industry to 10:10 Games - and we couldn't be happier to work alongside him and the great team they're building there. We're excited for the next twelve months ahead." - Brandon Cole, Head of Partnerships.

What we'll achieve...

Together we’ll be delivering a year-long training program to the studio staff at 10:10 Games, helping them become better educators, public speakers and empathetic mentors and leaders. 

We’ll also be supporting the surrounding area of Warrington by developing a vital games career after-school club which will directly encourage and support young people from disadvantaged backgrounds in the region to create games, and, further their understanding of jobs within games. 

So that students can continue using the skills they’ve learned, we’ll also be providing every computer within these schools with lifetime licences and resources for GameMaker Studio 2. 

Additionally, our combined effort helps bridge the gap for older career seekers through the co-development of internship and apprenticeship programs; allowing for a more accessible way into the industry.
