This Friday, I'll be talking for a whole hour about my takeaways from making Oddsparks in Zurich at the Gamespace Conference! @swissgamehub.com I'm planning a DENSE talk with lots of takeaways, touching on four different topics that are basically smaller talks by themselves!

Preparations for the Gamespace Conference are in full swing! The first helper meeting is done, stage lights have arrived, merch has been printed and lots more is happening behind the scenes. After months of planning, we can’t wait to finally welcome you all to the Hub! ❤️

A few more things waiting for you at the Gamespace Conference! This time, it’s all about making decisions, testing ideas and figuring out what actually works. Whether you’re starting a game or already deep into development. 👇

Anti Talks Business: What Do YOU Want to Know? This one turns the usual conference talk around. Bring a question or problem you’re struggling with, share it with the room and let the Gamespace hivemind throw ideas, experiences and possible solutions your way.

Join us in Zürich on October 8–9 for the first Gamespace Conference!

Quick Wins for Long Projects Jonas Tyroller shares a collection of things he wishes he had known sooner, practical ideas for getting more out of big projects when you’re working with a small team.

Bootcamp Speedrun Philomena Schwab and Thomas Gervraud take the Swiss Game Hub Bootcamp and squeeze its process into one workshop. They’ll walk through the loop we’ve used in our Bootcamps. From finding an idea and promising niche to developing a game loop and put it to the test in a speedrun.

I Don’t Know If This Game Is Good Even after years of making games, knowing whether something is actually good while you’re building it isn’t easy. René Habermann from Bippinbits shares how they deal with that uncertainty, with examples from both successful games and projects they decided to cancel.

This time, we’re jumping from narrative design and digital fashion to interactive music. With a little exclusive preview thrown in. From Page to Game – Setting up Narrative Pipelines Arden Osthof takes a look at how to set up narrative pipelines and bring writing from the page into the game.

BIG! RED ROOSTER EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW Aleksandar Gavrilović, Argo Tuulik and Dora Klindžić from Summer Eternal join us to talk about their alternative approach to running a studio and give us an exclusive look at Red Rooster.

More from the program is still to come. Join us in Zürich on October 8–9!

Wear the Game – Designing Narratives for Digital Fashion Alexia Mathieu explores how virtual clothing can become more than customization – and turn into a tool for storytelling, interaction and play.

Herdling – The Making of a Game Soundtrack Joel Schoch and Cyril Boehler take us behind the music of Herdling, exploring interactive soundtracks, collaboration and how music makes its way into the game.

Making a great game is one thing. Figuring out funding, crowdfunding, publishers and everything around actually getting it out into the world is another. At the Gamespace Conference, we’ll have plenty of space for exactly those conversations.

The Current State of Crowdfunding in Games Michael Liebe from Kickstarter shares what’s changing in games crowdfunding, what the numbers and trends look like, and why premarketing matters.

Game Funding in Zurich Ke-ren Wang from the Zurich Film Fund joins us for a casual lunch Q&A about funding opportunities for games in Zurich, who can apply and how the process actually works. Join us at the Gamespace Conference in Zürich on October 8–9. eventfrog.ch/en/p/science...

Three more talks from the Gamespace Conference program! This time: niche communities, Steam wishlists and game trailers. Let’s have a look 👇

Don’t Make Your Game Trailer Look Like a Trailer @derek-lieu.com takes a look at what makes a great game trailer – and why thinking too much about what a trailer “should” look like might be holding you back.

Horses & Beyond Niche Communities @malicedafirenze.bsky.social shares what she learned from building The Mane Quest and how embracing a niche can help you find and grow a passionate community around your game.

The “No Steam” Strategy for Steam Wishlists Baldvin Albertsson shares why Vitar Games waited to launch the Steam page for Dig In – and how building a community first helped them reach 100,000 wishlists in less than two weeks.

Somehow this became a very programming-heavy update. 😄 We have a new demo, a DLC release date and some goblin news from gamescom. Traffic lights, mining drones and probably burned sushi. What a day at Metaroot. 👇
