“All these amazing talks and sessions were made possible by a joint effort of our numerous wonderful speakers, partners and exhibitors. During this pandemic, that made things so much more challenging for all of us, we are proud of the short notice changes we were able to make, our devcom 365 program and – perhaps most of all – that we were able to bring people together digitally this year. With the incredible work of my team we were able to make this year’s devcom truly special,” says Stephan Reichart, Managing Director of devcom.
“The rest of the year we will continue devcom 365 with the regular Game Dev Show, the devcom tutorials and the long-awaited Masterclasses. Of course, we are looking forward to hopefully seeing everyone in person online and offline again next year.”
Even more game development insights are available with the almost twenty devcom podcasts on Patreon.
