“What an amazing weekend we had hosting a meetup of some of the most exciting PC/console game developers in the industry! It was a blast catching up with:

Eschatology Entertainment: A developer crew hellbent on shaking up the shooter genre with a never-before-seen Souls-like set in the Wild West. Buckle up, because the visuals are being crafted by none other than BAFTA-winning Viktor Antonov, the mastermind behind iconic games like Half-Life 2 and Dishonored!

VEA Games: Get ready to dive into a world of color and fun! This team is bringing the nostalgic charm of Nintendo's family classics to PC and consoles with Nikoderiko. And guess who's behind the soundtrack? The one and only David Wise, the musical mastermind behind Donkey Kong Country!

Sad Cat Studios: The minds behind Replaced, a game that's taken the gaming world by storm and landed on both KOTAKU and IGN's most anticipated games lists. Digitaltrends even called Replaced "the Hellblade 2 of pixel art games"!

Unfrozen : The team behind the Iratus: Lord of the Dead, which shattered expectations with over 500k copies sold, is setting their sights on dominating the tactical games scene. They're hard at work on several ambitious projects that promise to be gaming legends!

GEM Capital was there at the beginning for these amazing studios!

We had a blast talking games, sharing feedback and expertise, and of course, playing games! Denis Fedorov, Alexandra Golubeva, Yura Zhdanovich, Igor Gritsay, Dmitry Smirnov, Alexey Gerasimovich – it was fantastic having you all. We can’t wait to see what amazing things you’ll do next!

Keep an eye out for some HUGE announcements coming VERY SOON!”
