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!

PG Connects Helsinki Comes Back This September

By | News | No Comments

Pocket Gamer Connects, the leading mobile games show in the western world, is bringing its unique combination of inspirational speakers, grade-A networking, and a vibrant expo to the Helsinki, the heart of the European mobile games business on September 5th and 6th and we’d love you to join us!

Now in its third year, the show brings together over 1,000 delegates representing a true cross-section of the mobile business: from indie devs and media through tool-makers and monetisation experts to triple-A publishers and investors including delegates from across the globe.

We’ll have great speakers representing the likes of Rovio, Seriously, Glu, Machine Zone, Netease, Tencent and more sharing their expertise over 8 conference tracks covering everything from global publishing trends and UA techniques to how indies can raise funds and compete in the modern landscape.

Ultimately, of course, it’s all about making great connections and we’ve got that covered with a free matchmaking meeting tool, 3 dedicated pitch sessions, a lively expo area, an app, and after-hours networking events including the legendary PG party!

This year, in addition to the mobile core, the event will also house two new events, VR Connects and PC Connects dedicated to covering other areas of the games industry and reflecting the cross-platform opportunities and reality facing developers today.

We are also intending to run a gamejam on the weekend before the show, more details to come shortly!
