Dear Community,
We wish you and your loved ones to be safe and in good health.
These are the times that we show our will and determination towards doing our part in combating this wide spread Pandemic, for that I call upon your support to play a part in your community to help combat the current COVID-19 spread by Spreading Awareness, and engaging yourself and those around you to use and develop their skills.
As part of the recurring Monthly Challenge, we invite you the community to participates in creating content based on this month’s theme.
Nasser Omran is an aspiring indie game developer from Bahrain, and winner of several local and regional game jams. His passion with games started when he first experienced the joy and intrigue of the stories and worlds that video games can create unlike any other medium. This passion would later influence him to pursue a degree that allowed him to develop his skills into a game developer. He studied at the Bahrain Polytechnic, and graduated with a passion to be one of the people creating a video games industry in Bahrain.
He recently took his first steps in creating an indie game development studio after finding partners that share the same passion and vision for the games they want to make, and that is, games that make you happy.
This month’s theme is titled “Silver Linings”, so surprise and amaze us.
Thanks goes to the amazing volunteers, partners, and sponsors of the community who without their support none of this would have been possible.
Yours Truly,
Yousef BuHazza
