Test out videogames made by young and talented game developers – and provide your feedback to help them develop their work.
The ACMI + RMIT Young Creators’ Lab invites local digital developers aged 10–16 years to showcase their projects and products at ACMI. Playtest works in development and provide constructive feedback to help budding makers tweak, refine and complete their games. Who knows, you might play a part in creating the next Untitled Goose Game or Cult of the Lamb.

Ant Hill Conquest
A mix between open-world exploration and colony building where you work with cute ants. Expand your colony as you face the natural hazards of an unforgiving world.
Escape to Startown
Welcome to Escape to Startown. In this fully interactive game, you play as Emily, a young girl who woke up in a locked abandoned house. Once you have escaped the first house by finding all the hidden stars, you arrive in the abandoned town of Starling. In every house you enter, it becomes a new place to escape from, but be careful... the deeper you go... the more horrors there are. Will you help the mischievous frog merchant Charles, or team up with Pro Monster Hunter Abigail? Or will you go solo while reverting Starling to its charming origins?
(Trigger warning: Violence, jumpscares, flashing lights, blood and mild gore)
Habitat 666
After you lose contact with your colonisation group, you are left alone on an alien island to survive with the limited tools at your disposal. Here you must face starvation, sickness, predators, and so much more on Habitat 666.
Slugger
Slugger is a fast-paced top-down bullet-hell shooter game full of eternal action and fun! The game's core consists of waves made of "Hivoxes", which in turn, spawn enemies that you'll need to defeat if you wish to proceed to the following wave. Some waves contain bosses. Once you perish, you may upgrade your slug in the Skill Tree, and become more powerful, so you can get to harder waves. Once everything in the Skill Tree is maxed out, there will be an *Ancient* surprise waiting for you... Maybe you can use this power to become even more powerful... and defeat the final boss...
Nexus VR
The game is now based around a horror game that you can play up to with 10 friends or either make friends the game is where you go into the deep dark cave and complete some tasks to complete the level and go to the next, since it's just me I'm thinking of adding a Max of 8 levels maybe more in the future, and there also is a shop where you can buy cosmetics to customise your character with special currency.
Mind in the Sky
Welcome to the Mind Sky, an unpredictable series of worlds. This 3D platforming adventure features a vast set of movement tools to use, from mysterious floating clouds, to hot air balloons. Mind In The Sky will be releasing in early access December 2025.
Check out the ACMI + RMIT Audience Lab for works by creators over 16 years old.
