英國遊戲產業貿易協會 Ukie 推出了一項名為「進入市場學院」(Go To Market Academy) 的令人振奮的新計畫。
The UK games industry trade association, Ukie, has launched an exciting new initiative called the Go To Market Academy.
該計畫專門為協助早期獨立開發者克服遊戲可發現性與社群建立等常見障礙而設計。
This program is specifically designed to support early-stage independent developers in overcoming the common hurdles of game discoverability and community building.
在競爭激烈的市場中，即使是最具創新性的遊戲，也可能難以找到受眾。
In a competitive market, even the most innovative games can struggle to find an audience.
為了應對此問題，該學院旨在為 10 到 12 家精選的英國工作室提供關鍵的商業策略與行銷工具。
To combat this, the academy aims to equip 10–12 selected UK-based studios with essential business strategies and marketing tools.
課程與產業領導者 Discord 和 GameFlex 合作，包含六個線上單元，涵蓋從市場診斷到 Discord 進階受眾參與等主題。
Delivered in partnership with industry leaders Discord and GameFlex, the curriculum includes six online modules covering topics from market diagnostics to advanced audience engagement on Discord.
該計畫以倫敦 EGX/MCM Comic Con 的實體活動揭開序幕，並於 12 月以市場計畫的正式發表作結。
The program kicks off with an in-person event at EGX/MCM Comic Con in London and concludes in December with a formal presentation of market plans.
Ukie 執行長尼克·普爾 (Nick Poole) 強調，此計畫為那些有才華，但可能缺乏時間或經驗來建立永續玩家群體的創作者提供了至關重要的資源。
Ukie CEO Nick Poole emphasizes that this initiative provides vital resources for creators who have the talent but may lack the time or experience to grow a sustainable player base.
鼓勵英國註冊的遊戲公司於 2026 年 9 月 30 日前申請，該組織將優先考慮來自全國各地多元化的申請者。
UK-registered games companies are encouraged to apply by September 30, 2026, with the organization prioritizing a diverse range of applicants from across the country.
