Each workshop includes a 90-minute tutorial on an open-source game development tool (e.g. Godot, Blender), followed by social co-working with participants. The goal of the format is to support developers in getting started with and deepening their knowledge of open-source-based game development, both on-site and online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the partnership, TUXEDO Computers supports the project through sponsorship as well as by providing a high-performance Linux laptop from its Stellaris series, which will be used in the workshops and in game development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supporting Open Source and the Gaming Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As main sponsor, TUXEDO Computers positions itself as a strong partner for game development within the open-source ecosystem, as well as for Linux-based desktop PCs and notebooks.
