Crestborn is a fantasy-adventure Visual Novel that the students of our Young Artists' Initiative (YAI) program will produce together. Assisted by our industry partners, students will create individual characters, settings and arcs inside a universe that they have developed as a class.
In order to nurture its creative community, MediaContex has established an outreach program that assists aspiring artists and developers with producing their ideas.
Story Sight Studios, one of our longstanding partners, will assist the students of our Young Adults Initiative (YAI) program with the development of Crestborn, in which players may join a guild of Questers that will assist the royal families of their kingdoms.
