The final of the unique all-Russian marathon GameCraft 2.0 on game development ended at the Moscow State College of Electromechanics and Information Technology. Students of the capital’s secondary specialized educational institutions won awards in all nine nominations. This was reported by the press service of the capital’s Department of Education and Science.
“This year, 80 teams from all over the country, including Tomsk and Krasnodar Krai, joined the GameCraft 2.0 marathon and demonstrated their developments in nine competition nominations. Over the course of several months, participants created their own computer games in 3D or 2D graphics. In the final, 19 best teams presented original projects — from 3D worlds to pixel platformers. Students from Moscow colleges showed the best results and became winners in all nominations of the marathon,” the department’s press service reported.
The marathon was won by teams from six Moscow educational institutions: Moscow State College of Electromechanics and Information Technology, Small Business College No. 4, College of Architecture, Design and Reengineering No. 26, Financial College No. 35, Moscow Automobile and Road College named after A.A. Nikolaev and Moscow College of Management, Hotel Business and Information Technology “Tsaritsyno”. The winners will have the opportunity to undergo an internship with the prospect of further employment in the CDK company, which became a partner of the marathon.
Student teams competed for the Best 3D Game, Best 2D Game, Best Graphics, Best Gameplay, Most Creative Idea, Best Sound and Music, Best Artificial Intelligence, Most Original Concept, and Audience Choice Award. They were assisted by mentors through webinars and consultations.
Thus, the team “Tadpoles” of the College of Small Business No. 4 won first place in the nomination “Best 2D Game”. The guys developed a puzzle game that offers to catch a butterfly in a jar using logic and improvised means. According to the expert jury, the project has a chance to get into online app stores.
“At first we wanted to make a detective game, but then we decided to create a puzzle – it seemed more interesting to us and suitable for the marathon format. Working on the project was not easy, but very exciting: in the process, we constantly returned to the finished elements, reviewed ideas, made changes. Thanks to a special system of intermediate stages – checkpoints – we could understand what works and what needs to be improved. This helped us grow as a team and make the game better,” shared Pavel Zelenin, a student at Small Business College No. 4.
The team from the Moscow State College of Electromechanics and Information Technology presented the game Cat’s Delivery in the genre of endless running about a delivery cat who dreams of saving up for his first electric guitar. All the characters were hand-drawn by the participants, and an original music playlist was written to create the atmosphere. The project won in the nomination “Best Sound and Musical Accompaniment” and took second place among 2D games.
Taisiya Gritsenko, a student at the educational institution, said that the idea of the game Cat’s delivery was born spontaneously. The girl decided to combine what is close to her: music, cats and the atmosphere of the night city. The marathon became her first step in creating computer games.
The projects of the participants were evaluated by an expert jury, headed by the CEO of the partner company Egor Pynzar, a teacher of the Moscow State College of Electromechanics and Information Technology Gadzhi Gadzhiev, an expert of the Professionals championship in the 3D modeling for computer games competency Magomed Omarov, as well as students Nikita Braga, Feodosiy Yachmenev and Ruslan Korobchenko.
The idea of holding the marathon belongs to students of the Moscow State College of Electromechanics and Information Technology. Last year it was held for the first time. In 2025, the students from the educational institution applied for a grant from the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh) for further development of the project.
This summer, the Moscow State College of Electromechanics and Information Technology will begin recruiting for a new specialty, “Development of Computer Games, Augmented and Virtual Reality.” Students will be able to obtain a sought-after profession and master the latest technologies for creating modern games.
