Gamecity Hamburg facilitates the participation of nine local independent game studios in the 2020 digital edition of gamescom. By securing a presence at the Indie Arena Booth Online, the initiative aims to provide Hamburg-based developers with a platform to showcase their projects to a global audience despite the shift to a fully virtual event format.
The supported studios include Bagpack Games, Mooneye Studios, OneManOnMars Art & Games e.K., Osmotic Studios GmbH, ROCKFISH Games GmbH, The Tribe, Tiny Roar, tool1game1 GmbH, and VR-Nerds GmbH. Beyond the provision of a digital booth, the participating teams receive comprehensive professional support, including access to B2B backend and business lounge facilities, participation in industry workshops, and integration of their titles into the event’s main live stream.
This initiative underscores a broader commitment to fostering the growth of the Hamburg games industry by providing essential resources and visibility for local talent. By bridging the gap between independent developers and international trade platforms, the program helps maintain industry momentum and networking opportunities during periods of restricted physical interaction.
