    The Story Behind Mashak

    There are thousands of Jewish game developers. We work at the biggest studios and behind some of the world's most-played titles, in every discipline and genre. We are a huge part of this industry.

    And yet we live practically isolated, each on our own island. A Facebook post vanishes in a day. A Discord message is buried in an hour. There has never been a shared place to find one another and build together. You can be one of thousands and still feel alone.

    That is why Mashak exists. One permanent home that connects Jewish game developers worldwide, so we stop living on separate islands and become the community we already are.

    Mashak is open to all game creators — regardless of background, experience level, or studio size. If you make games, this is your home.
