You have created a game, in a team or on your own, within twelve months or after fifteen years of hard work, using Unity or Game Maker – it makes no difference. The product, which was the culmination of your creative efforts deserves to be talked about, to be bought and played.

DevGAMM offers a whole series of activities that will help you achieve that. DevGAMM Awards game contest, GAMM:Play Showcase, meetings between developers and publishers called Speed Game Dating, mysterious Game Lynch. Learn more about each opportunity.

First Keynote Announced: The Journey Of Samorost 3 by Jakub Dvorský

By | News | No Comments

Ever since 2013 we have been trying to bring Jakub Dvorsky back to DevGAMM to deliver another talk. During his last presentation at DevGAMM Kiev 2013 the hall was absolutely packed. Some people were sitting in the aisles on the floor, others were standing in the back the whole time. Surrounded by inspired developers he was answering questions for a long time after the lecture was over.

We launched a content poll after Moscow event this year and lots of you asked for another session from Jakub Dvorsky. So we are incredibly happy to announce that Jakub will come to Minsk on November 10-11!
He will guide you through the 5-year long journey of Samorost 3 development. The talk will cover everything from initial concept and game design to art and animation techniques or sound-design magic.

Jakub Dvorský is the founder, lead game designer and creative director in Amanita Design, Czech-based award-winning independent studio best known for puzzle adventure games Machinarium, Botanicula and Samorost series.

Make sure to buy DevGAMM tickets (still Early Bird!) to get inspired by Jakub Dvorsky!
