Nexon announced on the 11th that it successfully concluded the 2025 Maple University Student Game Career Camp 'Metoring', which took place from the 7th to the 10th at Nexon's headquarters in Pangyo, Gyeonggi Province, and at the HL Talent Development Center in Yongin.
This camp is a program aimed at university and graduate students interested in the gaming industry and the 'MapleStory' IP, providing mentoring from current professionals in various roles such as game design, programming, and art, to enhance understanding of practical work and support career coaching for students aspiring to enter the gaming industry.
Nexon selected a total of 50 participants through pre-registration in mid-January and operated a diverse program over 3 nights and 4 days, including ▲ education on the gaming industry and job roles using MapleStory ▲ career coaching mentoring ▲ execution of practical project tasks and team competitions ▲ award ceremonies for outstanding teams.
All participants in the camp received Maple welcome goods and certificates of completion, and students selected as outstanding teams in the team project competition (Daesang, Grand Prize, MVP for each job category) were presented with special badges and goods.
Chae Woo-jae, a student from the team 'Echo of Heroes', which won the Daesang award, said, "It's rare to have an opportunity to receive direct job mentoring from current professionals. This camp was very beneficial, allowing me to learn the development process of MapleStory and experience various roles within a game company."
