August 2024
An exciting opportunity this month!
The whiplash summer weather has rained on the holiday times! Despite it all though, events around Scotland have kept going and many great content creators have been providing much needed entertainment when being stuck at home! Slowly but steadily ScotCreate is also attracting more folks to join us in our social network!
In that regard, to all content creators, we need you!
In collaboration with Skills Development Scotland we are looking for creators to create a short but creative 20-60 second video (TikTok, YouTube short style) that shows what creators do on and behind the screen. They should also briefly address the skills that they have learned through doing content creation (such as, but not limited to, learning specific softwares, learning about hardware, community management, video production and editing, problem solving, etc.). So, if you do any content online, whether it be on Twitch, YouTube, TikTok or otherwise, please reach out to us! For more information join our Discord!

Farewell North
Farewell North, by the fantastic solo developer Kyle Banks, is an atmospheric adventure in a Scottish island archipelago. In this game, it is your task to bring back colour to the world and explore the most beautiful environments all while solving puzzles and helping the local wildlife and community. Best of all though, you are not alone! Accompanied by your ever faithful friend, a sweet border collie who helps you in your tasks and journey, you get to explore an emotional story of saying farewell. If gorgeous game design, stunning music and a compelling visual story is what you want, then look no further than Farewell North!
