Well,…it was a blast. Deutscher Entwicklerpreis 2018. A great show with great hosts, great nominees and amazing winners.
A night to be there and if you missed it, make sure next time.
We helped a little bit by supporting this event and sponsored a photo booth for all those who wanted to play around a bit and take home something to remember besides an award, if they were amongst the chosen ones.
Also our Bobby Car Porsche, the winning one from our race at the gamescom was auctioned of for Gaming Aid and it got the highest bid of the evening with €650,00. We are so happy to have contributed by that and our heartful thanks to all those who bid for it.
We sure will race again next year!!!
Today it officially starts: The games funding program in another federal state of Germany: The Saarland. For a start they have a budget of € 100.00 and the funding idea is based on three pillars: Money, networking and competence building.
The official press release can be found here.
German only though.
Hi all,
it was a great gamescom in Cologne last week, wasn´t it?
We loved being there and having great meetings with all of you, whether you are German Games industry or from abroad.
Hopefully our efforts with the Made in Germany Area in hall 3.2 were of help to you to be more easily found, if you are Geman or to find the Germans, if you are from abroad.
Same goes for our schedule, giving you an overview what will happen when and wher in that area.
One thing we were asked about often was the Bobby Car Race, so here is the quick story:
Thursday in the afternoon things slow down a bit in the business area and we thought we could spice things up a bit. By racing through the hall. On toy cars for kids.
Each booth in the Made in Germany Area nominated one driver for that race.
Porsche sponsored us the race cars.
And we didn´t just do it for the fun of it:
The winning Porsche car will be autioned off by Gamind-Aid at the Deutscher Entwicklerpreis 2018.
If you don´t know Gaming-Aid, check them out here
There will be a clip of the race coming up soon, and some pictures on facebook.
So check it out, if you missed it live.
And already put it in your diary for next year.
It was fun to race and as we were told also fun to watch.
And even more so, as it is for charity.
Start packing and head for Cologne…Evoke, Devcom and all kinds of games related events are coming up. And of course the biggest of them all…the gamescom.
Meet us there. We are in the business area in hall 3.2 where you can find us in the „Made in Germany“ area.
And to make it even more easy for you we have again done a schedule of events hapenning in that area during the business days.
Please drop by at any or alle of them.
We love to meet you there.
Once again we are proud to support the Indie Arena Booth at the gamescom.
This year by suppporting a German indie developer´s participation.

Path Out by Causa Creations.
Path Out is is an autobiographical adventure game, that allows the players to replay the journey of Abdullah Karam, a young Syrian artist that escaped the civil war in 2014. Camouflaged as a Japanese RPG, Path Out is a tale full of surprises, challenges and paradoxical humor, giving insight in this real-life adventure, on which Abdullah comments through youtube-style videos in the game.
