Empowering Sudanese Australian Game Developers
The Malak Foundation's Advisory Role in the Development of Time’s Prey Game.
In the ever-evolving landscape of the gaming industry, innovation and diversity are crucial elements that drive creativity and inclusivity. Recognising this, the Malak Foundation is proud to support "Time’s Prey," an original storytelling game that is multilayered and promises to captivate players with its intricate time-travel narrative and culturally rich elements.
This collaboration not only highlights the talent of Sudanese Australians but also emphasises the importance of nurturing new developers within Victoria’s games ecosystem.
Championing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Game Development
At the heart of the Malak Foundation's mission is a commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). By offering comprehensive feedback on Time’s Prey, the Foundation ensures that the game reflects a broad spectrum of cultural experiences and perspectives. This approach not only enriches the storytelling but also resonates with a global audience, promoting a deeper understanding and appreciation of different cultures.
Time’s Prey stands out for its unique incorporation of African and Aboriginal elements, seamlessly woven into its gameplay and narrative. These features are not mere additions but integral parts of the story, highlighting the rich cultural heritage and contributions of these communities. The Foundation's input has been instrumental in authentically representing these elements, ensuring that they are portrayed with respect and accuracy.
Supporting Emerging Talent
One of the Malak Foundation's goals is to support talented individuals, especially those who might feel that their dreams are beyond their reach. By providing resources, mentorship, and support, the Foundation is dedicated to nurturing the next generation. This initiative is particularly significant for Sudanese Australians, who may face unique challenges in entering the tech and gaming industries.
Through supporting future gaming workshops, training programs, and networking opportunities for the Time’s Prey project, the Malak Foundation will help aspiring developers gain the skills and confidence needed to succeed. By fostering an inclusive environment, the Foundation encourages a diverse range of voices and perspectives, which is essential for innovation in game development.
Looking Ahead
As Time’s Prey nears its beta release in 2025, the game promises to be a testament to what can be achieved when diverse talents come together to create something truly unique. The Malak Foundation’s support will be instrumental in bringing this vision to life, ensuring that the game is not only entertaining but also meaningful and inclusive.
The Malak Foundation's support for Sudanese Australian game developers and their dedication to DEI will pave the way for a more inclusive and innovative gaming industry. By nurturing new talent the Foundation is helping to shape the future one groundbreaking project at a time. Time’s Prey is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting journey for both developers and players alike.
Join us in celebrating this milestone and stay tuned for more updates on Time’s Prey. Together, we can create a vibrant, inclusive, and dynamic community that reflects the rich diversity of our world.
