Q) Who should apply?

A) If you have an original idea for a new project on MapleStory Worlds, and the technical skills to make it happen, you should apply. We'll be looking for applicants with some prior game development experience and proficiency in Lua or comparable programming languages. Most importantly, we'll be looking for applicants with a commitment to creating fun, amazing Worlds on MapleStory Worlds.

Q) Wait, isn't this the same as Creator Circle?

A) Nope! Creator Circle is for Creators who have already published their projects and who are looking to grow their projects on the platform. Creators' Workshop participants will have a chance to be considered for Creator Circle after completing their projects.

If you have published a World on the platform and would like to apply for the Creator Circle, you can fill out an application here.
