An... Expo!

Hello June! Summer begun with an Expo and a road trip to Athens! First time showing our game to the gamers πŸ™‚
Grow games Expo took place in the center of the city, in Technopolis which literally means “City of the Arts” and more than 30 teams gathered there to get in contact with the audience and communicate. It was an amazing experience and being able to discuss with the gamers was very informative!

March 14, 2017

An... Un-conference πŸ˜€

Conferences are becoming a habit for Happyland Entertainment. We flew to Athens once more to attend Goethe is Game 2017 which took place in Goethe Institut Athens. During this event we played video and board games which were made in a Storytelling Jam last November and also talked, exchanged ideas with devs, artists, musicians and engineers. A highlight was when our friends Lucid Ferret got selected to present their game at AMAZE festival in Berlin!

Everyone is here :D

In the end of the day, we were glad we attended Goethe is Game -despite the distance we had to travel- and realized how important it is to keep in touch with people who love games as well as people who love making them. It recharges the will to keep on trying! Can’t wait to reunite with everyone πŸ™‚
