Partnership Announcement : The Sandbox Ft. SBS Game Academy
The Sandbox partners with one of the major game academies in Korea — SBS Game Academy!
We are proud to announce that The Sandbox is partnering with SBS Game Academy in South Korea! SBS Game Academy is one of the major game institutions with 2,000 students located in their 8 campuses across Korea. SBS Game Academy provides courses such as game illustration, game programming, game engine, game graphics, game planning, game business studies, webtoons, game scenario, and web novels. We will be closely working with SBS Sinchon Campus that focuses on Indie Game Development with about 400 students in attendance.
Through this partnership, SBS Game Academy will develop a curriculum around The Sandbox Game Maker so that students can use the gaming platform to publish their content and eventually monetize their game experiences. The Sandbox is aiming to train the next generation of game creators and enlarge their choices, using permissionless and decentralized systems that provide true ownership for their creations. Using a game builder that is both casual and yet very customizable with visual scripting and coding The Sandbox enables anyone to access game making and will provide the resources and tutorials for the academy instructors and students
SBS Game Academy will also host various contests and events using VoxEdit (the proprietary, free 3D voxel editor for The Sandbox platform) and The Sandbox Game Maker to promote the Sandbox game, which The Sandbox will then sponsor.
“We are very excited to have SBS Game Academy provide the infrastructure and curriculum to prepare their students to the future of game making — they are truly forward thinking and ready to see what comes beyond the current market trends”, said Sebastien Borget, COO & Co-Founder of The Sandbox. “As pioneers and early adopters in the space of gaming with blockchain-based assets, we believe The Sandbox’s metaverse will offer a virtual playground completely made and owned by creators and SBS Game Academy students will be the first to benefit from it”
Hankyul Kang, the Vice Director of SBS Game Academy said, “Our academy focuses on creativity and diversity of game content, and we believe that The Sandbox is sharing the same vision with us. Through this partnership, we would like to open up wider opportunities for our students so that they can expand their content globally while learning the business aspects of what they are creating .”
We believe that this partnership is a solid way to expand our game developer and user community in Korea as game academies play a vital role in forming game infrastructure in Korea. We will be introducing various opportunities with The Sandbox to the students so that they will become key contributors for the Sandbox Metaverse.
