Smilegate Hope Studio wrapped up their two-day 'Palette Booster Camp' held at the Smilegate headquarters on the 25th and 26th.

The Palette Booster Camp was designed to support children and teenagers from regional children's centers across the country who have been working on interest-based autonomous creative projects, helping them refine and finalize their work. It also provided a space for young creators to connect and exchange ideas with their peers.

This camp hosted 18 creative clubs from 11 regional children's centers, including those in Seoul, Gyeonggi, Gangneung, Busan, Jeonju, and Daegu. Around 100 participants, including the young creators, creative mentors, local center teachers, and Smilegate employees, were involved throughout the event.

The camp kicked off with team networking and ice-breaking sessions, followed by project exhibitions, mutual feedback, project improvements, autonomous creative time, and a final showcase and awards ceremony. A total of 38 creative projects—ranging from platformers and RPGs to AI-enhanced videos, webtoons, and music videos—were completed through this collaborative environment. You can check out these works on the Hope Studio platform.

The operation of this camp and the activities of the regional creative clubs were supported by 'Oven Games', a development studio under Devsisters. Devsisters continues to act as a 'Hope Partner' alongside Hope Studio.

Kwon Yeon-ju, Director of Hope Studio, stated, "Hope Studio will continue to expand environments where children and teenagers in local communities can unleash their creativity and leadership to grow." Director Kwon added, "We aim to continue our role as a platform where various stakeholders can join forces to tackle social issues."
