Ukraine attracts game industry with considerably low labor costs, but employees have high qualifications in mathematics and computer science as well as fluency in English and Russian. In Ukraine this sector is at the developmental stage, but it has huge potential manifested in promising projects. Gamers are expected to generate USD 108.9 billion in game revenues in 2017. The number of gamers all over the world is estimated to be to ca. Nowadays video game industry (gaming industry, game industry) is listed among sectors with the highest growth dynamics. The idea and assumptions of the GameHub project are presented and hitherto achieved results in the project implementation are reported. Gaming sector in Ukraine is briefly described in terms of its needs for employees. This paper is devoted to presentation of the international educational project’s GameHub contribution to the development of highly-qualified workforce for Ukrainian gaming industry. Hence the worlds created by Amanita Design seem to be the answer to the dominant hyper-realistic aesthetics of mainstream games.

The new reality, however radically anti-realistic, does not try to pretend to be something else than itself.

Every time they set a spatially complex structure in the two-dimensional environment of the game, it manages, despite its fantastic nature, to maintain its full integrity. The creators base their technique on a deconstruction of one reality, and at the same time they build entirely new worlds. Such refined structure of virtual assemblage seems to escape the concept of simulacrum. The structure of these game cluster spaces is built not only from material artefacts of human culture but also from the elements of nature.

These examples are particularly interesting as the artistic technique in this case goes beyond the aesthetic aspects (visual art and music) and the narration, and actively informs the gameplay. This paper will show how the collage technique actively influences the structure of Amanita Designs’ games, such as Samorost series, Botanicula, Machinarium. The study is concluded with a set of good and bad practices for potential consideration by creators of game-ed programmes. Next comes a discussion of the admission process, the relatively low retention rate (62,8% from freshman to sophomore), and the high rate of pre-graduation full-time employment (39% for seniors and sophomores). This part starts with the practical side of the curriculum: modules related to team-based game design, project management and industry collaboration. The second part of the paper is a case study of Gamedec.UKW: a specialisation within a Humanities 2.0 undergraduate degree which combines the liberal arts background with an intense training of practical skills for careers in the game industry. Surveys among game industry specialists in the USA, EU, and Poland universally acknowledge the practical importance of at least some of the liberal arts. With people frequently moving between companies, teams, tasks, and positions in the dynamic work environment, much more value is assigned to soft skills such as communication, creativity, and logical thinking, which have traditionally been the domain of the humanities. Special attention is given to the value of humanities-based education, whose usefulness is frequently questioned or denied, while the analysis of expectations formulated by employers proves otherwise. First, it discusses the current trends in the employment market, both in the general economy and in the video game industry.

Focused on game dev job-relevance of humanities education, this paper consists of two parts.
