It is one of the most important highlights of the German games industry: Berlin Games Week. The various events\u00a0taking place in several locations across\u00a0the vibrant city, such as Quo Vadis Game Developers Conference, Making Games Festival and A MAZE Festival, attracted more than 15,000 visitors this year.<\/p>\n

We spent last week talking about, playing and celebrating games in Berlin. Not only did we win our very first award for Orwell, but also met inspiring new people, had interesting conversations, talked about our own experiences and then won our very second award for Orwell! Here comes a brief summary and a few pictures for you to\u00a0see what we have been up to over the course of the week.<\/p>\n

German Computer Games Awards<\/h3>\n

On Wednesday, 26 April, the German Computer Games Awards were given\u00a0to the best Games in the German industry. We were very honored and happy to receive the award for “Best Serious Game” for Orwell,\u00a0which won the trophy besides\u00a0the really cool looking “Debugger 3.16: Hack’n’Run” by Spiderwork Games,\u00a0a game that teaches object-oriented programming.<\/p>\n

Thank you so much for this!<\/p>\n
