Mark Cerny and Geoff Keighley launch university-affiliated fellowship program
PlayStation lead architect Mark Cerny and video game show host Geoff Keighley have launched the Nova Games Foundation, a university-affiliated fellowship program offering six-figure grants to support upcoming game developers. The program aims to provide 'no-strings-attached' funding and mentorship, with fellows retaining full ownership of their projects. Despite the positive initiative, some former honorees of Keighley's past 'Future Class' program have voiced criticism regarding past experiences with mentorship and opportunity offerings.
