What is GDHT.png

GDHT [Game Design How To] is an annual educational competition organized by M3DS where passionate gamers and aspiring game developers meet at M3DS Academy to show us their talents and win prizes! This year is the 10th edition of GDHT and the focus is entirely on using Unreal Engine software to create a fully functional game in just 5 hours with a team of four people! This year’s theme? MINI RACING GAMES!

The best contestants will be awarded scholarships to our Academy. However, all participants will be rewarded as well! Everyone who applies to the competition will get:

  • free access to an Unreal Engine Course

  • discount for enrollment in M3DS Academy

  • a branded T-shirt
