A.Maze Indie Connect Festival

Last week was an eventful one. Due to a nomination for an award we went to Berlin. Lucky for us, the Deutsche Gamestage(DGT) were taking place at this time, so we decided to take part in the Quo Vadis Conference (QVC)  as well as in the A.Maze Indie Connect Festival!

Update on the Deutscher Computerspielpreis

Deutscher Computerspielpreis 2013

Deutscher Computerspielpreis 2013

Elena, Robin and I have been to Berlin from april 22 – 27. The main reason we’ve been there was the nomination of Mercury Shift at the Deutscher Computerspielpreis (DCP). Although we didn’t win, we are happy for the four students of the HAW Hamburg that won with their amazing concept “Ground Play” (trailer on youtube).

All the art that you can see in the trailer was created within 6 weeks of development. We also designed lots of levels in that time and before and were working hard on a tutorial to introduce new players to our mechanics and gameplay. Since we are searching for a publisher for the game, we also started to develop a singleplayer mode which is in testing at the moment.
