Amazon: Opportunities for Your Game with Twitch

By | Blog | No Comments

DevGAMM Moscow 2016 is happy to welcome Garnett Lee, Amazon game evangelist!

Garnett is going to make a talk called “Developing More Opportunities for Your Game Today and Tomorrow with Twitch” on the burning topic of broadcasting and live streaming. Nothing else offers the potential to reach the games community like the 20 billion minutes watched each month on Twitch. At the same time, the thought of finding a spot alongside the likes of Hearthstone and League of Legends may seem overwhelming. Every game holds the ability to build the audience to create more opportunities for streamers to earn and developers to sell. Garnett will show you steps you can take today to move toward that goal and set a foundation for developing, launching, and sustaining your game with Twitch. He will also look a little further down the road at how this may influence game design in the future.

Background:

Garnett Lee cultivates enthusiasm for developing and playing games with Amazon. He draws on his media and creative background to build both sides of the community, primarily through Twitch. Previously he served as Director of Publishing for mobile games and Editorial Director at GameFly after becoming a highly regarded voice in the games industry for his editorial work at Ziff Davis. Garnett is also well-known for his on-camera work and creation of successful podcasts including 1UP Yours and Weekend Confirmed.

Thomas Was Alone Creator Mike Bithell Is Coming To DevGAMM

By | Blog | No Comments

One of the most requested speakers for DevGAMM over the years has been Mike Bithell. He is a poster boy for indie development, he’s done a ridiculous amount of interviews and now he is coming to Moscow!

If you are a solo developer or a small indie team, his talk “10 things that seem to be working right now for indies“ is definitely meant for you. It’ll be pretty broad in its application with notes on marketing, design, production practice and art.

Indie moves quick, any advice tends to have a short shelf life. This talk focuses on 10 lessons and approaches from recent games, including Mike’s own work (Thomas Was Alone, Volume), Mike will unpack these lessons, and find some solid advice for the audience.

Background:

Mike Bithell is the chap behind two reasonably liked British games, Thomas Was Alone and Volume. He is currently working on a VR expansion to Volume, and future, secret things. He’ll probably tell you about them on twitter (@mikebithell) or on his site: www.bithellgames.com
