The impressions are still gathering from our trip to Dubrovnik and we would like to share them with our community in order to convey how the experience influenced us and how it will reflect on the game itself.
For those that are unfamiliar with the event, Reboot Develop Blue is one of the most prominent game developers and games industry conferences in Europe. Events like these are extremely important to us and other local game developers because thats the place where we get the chance to meet and talk with the industry’s most renowned individuals whose years of expertise and experience is invaluable to us that are at the start of our journey as game developers.
We strived to meet as many people, business partners and other industry professionals who would help us in making Phageborn the best it can possibly be and Reboot Develop Blue is the perfect spot for this. The acquaintances we acquired in Dubrovnik will prove invaluable in this pursuit because no one achieved anything great without the help of others and we fully embrace all the help we can get from people that recognize our striving for greatness with Phageborn.
Also, not only did we get the chance to attend lectures from notable speakers and even converse with them, we also got the chance to show Phageborn’s 2v2 multiplayer mode publicly for the first time. Usually, showing new features can be daunting experience for developers for you never know when something could go wrong. Lucky for us, Games Revolted’s finest (i.e. our incredible developers) delivered splendidly and it was truly a blast to watch people that never saw each other strategizing and working together to beat their opponents.
Hearing all the positive feedback from our players and seeing people have fun with our game felt heartwarming and it served as a reminder that we’re doing things right. Rarely is there something more rewarding for a developer to see people enjoy the fruit of your labor.
Although we were physically exhausted, we returned home filled to the brim with positive energy as a result of our successful trek to the far south of Croatia. Reboot Develop Blue 2019 was extremely eventful, even overwhelming at times, but very important for the eventual success of the game. We can’t stress enough how excited we are for the day our community will be able to try out the game.
Kind regards,
Ivan from the Phageborn team
