EVENT F.A.Q.

Do I need to have a project idea to participate? Do I have to make a game?
No! You can collaborate on a project idea someone pitches whether its game, art, or Virtual Reality experience — or use a prompt the organizers provide.

Do I need to know how to code?
No. Artists and designers are welcome to build something in Unity with a non-coding interface for VR. Or artists can collaborate with others.

Can I make a Virtual Reality project? 
Yes! There will be at least two HTC Vive headset for participants to share for development. 

Can I continue working on a game or other graphics project that I have already started?
Sort of. The goal is to go from start to finish with a concept. If you have a pieces of a project started, that's just fine, but a long giant project you're in the middle of doesn't work for this format.

Do I need my own computer? 
Nope! Spark Central has computers available. But, you are welcome to bring your own, even if it's a desktop. If you bring your own computer, you can get a head start and save some time by pre-installing Unity or Unreal and poking around in it ahead of time.
