We\u2019re always in search of a new conference hero. This time we wanted to change the course from fluffy creatures to a self-sufficing dragon! To top it off, our <\/span>awesome DevGAMM community<\/b> helped us to choose a name for a mascot. We asked for help at our Telegram-chat, and everyone who had cool ideas shared them with us. After that, we made a poll and chose a name within our team. So, please welcome <\/span>Casper <\/b>\u2014 a new DevGAMM mascot! \ud83d\ude42<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

Our mascot was created by great artists from outsourcing studio <\/span>Gamepack<\/span><\/a><\/span>! It\u2019s founder, <\/span>Ruslan Zelensky<\/b>, was a common artist with a big dream \u2014 open his own gaming studio. And soon it will definitely come true \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>

And, right, you\u2019re thinking now \u201cwhy did they choose a dragon?\u201d The thing is that the guys from Gamepack like monsters a lot, therefore they started to create draft variants.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The next step was to find the right character and work on several color versions. After that, it was important to create the right poses for each gaming activity of the conference, as our mascot should reflect the main idea.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Consider Casper a gamer from the world of dragons (why not)! But he is actually the only one who loves games in his inner circle. All other dragons prefer to go for a hunt or into hibernation \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It was a great opportunity to create Mascot for DevGAMM Minsk 2019. We\u2019re also very glad that Casper will bring a lot of joy to all the conference attendees. If you always wanted but was very shy to ask about mascot design \u2014 feel free to ping Lerika <\/b>on Facebook and send a couple of sketches, as we did \ud83d\ude42 And everything will be awesome! Good luck friends!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
