Quick review of Europe's first funded games residency (focused on indie devs), and first info about the November 2024 edition - eager bunnies can ask me anything. I will tell some nice stories, show the importance of supporting indie devs and bringing them together in a diverse and inspiring, if not surprisng, atmosphere in Brandenburg. I will also showcase the amazing participants we have hosted so far!
We are the annual marketplace where game creators, digital artists, virtual worldbuilders can either connect to publishers and labels or funding institutions, festivals and curators, but also finding new opportunities in working on theater- or museums projects. Our major goal is to create a sustainable environment for playful media creators, and game studios to get their works properly produced, released and exhibited.
