- 11:00 - 11:30 Small but mighty: Kickstarter tales from our indie creators (by Elina Roinioti and Michael Liebe)
Everybody knows the story of David and Goliath, but nobody seems to care how David overcame his fear of facing the Philistine giant and prepared for his battle. Solo developers and small game dev teams are, in principle, the beautiful weirdo and creative Davids of the contemporary games industry, struggling to be heard and be seen. Αnd it is true that sometimes the tale doesn’t have a happy ending. But more often than not, small (funding) goals become outstanding achievements. In this workshop, we will showcase indie Kickstarter campaigns and discuss their journey through tips and tricks on how to be better prepared against the ongoing challenges. - 11:45 - 12:15 How to Pitch Your Stuff (by Gwen Foster)
You don't need to have a pitching voice, here's some tips on how to create a pitch that best describes your work
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.
