Onyx Studio

Meet another one of our greatest students! Ognjen Petković's technical ability had no match during the first cohort of the Onyx Academy. Thanks to his creative approach to problem-solving, he found his place among the students as the go-to person for tackling any technical issues. His proactivity and efficiency coupled together with his fearless approach to clearing any roadblock made Project Sand (Our first cohort's environment project) possible. Today, Ognjen keeps pushing the boundaries at Onyx Studio, where he works together with DICE (EA Digital Illusions CE AB) on the next instalment of the Battlefield franchise. Congrats Ognjen, we are proud of you!! -- The next cohort's application process is now Open!

Last Thursday we hosted CONVERGENCE 1.5, the second event in an ongoing initiative to create a stronger creative community here in Japan. With #tokyogameshow in full swing it became quite the turnout! Game developers from mobile, AA, and AAA backgrounds, illustrators, agency creatives, filmmakers, composers, investors, and production expertise from both Japan and across the globe shared more than a few toasts on a beautiful night in Shibuya. Big thanks go to the founders and hosts of CONVERGENCE Johnathyn Owens, Emanuel Palalic and Chad Mirshak along with their respective companies Sentient Collective, emptyvessel and Onyx Studio for putting on this event. Even BIGGER thanks go to our sponsors i3D.net, Sisu Game Ventures, Paragon Interactive and Monster Puppet Corporation for supporting our evening festivities. Most importantly, we'd like to thank all our new friends and peers that attended from all corners of the world! There will be many more events to come, so we hope to see many of you at the next one. Stay tuned! Photos: Jeremy Pang Music: DJ Tomomitsu
