Second Game Wave Festival to happen in November

Update on November 17, 2022:

The Game Wave Festival has reached out to let us know that the festival’s dates have changed, and the event has scaled down. It will now take place across only two days, November 28 and November 29, 2022.

In addition to new dates, Game Wave Festival will now also host the Nordic Game Discovery Contest (NGDC) Baltic Semi-finals.

Original Story:

The Game Wave Festival has announced that it will return in September, at the Tallink Spa & Conference Hotel in Tallinn, Estonia.

The event, which is set to take place between September 27, 2022 and October 2, 2022, is described as “a business, education and entertainment event for gaming industry professionals”. Its first three days will be dedicated to a game jam, where developers from around the world can collaborate on micro-projects. 

When asked about the event,  Ints Viksna, Chairman of Board at the Latvian Technological Center said “Game Wave Festival is an expressive way to celebrate glorious game development heritage, culture and traditions, meet new and old faces, and have fun. It is professional, oriented to have serious business talks, and cozy, to make friends with almost all attendees. I am happy to welcome all of you to the 2nd Game Wave Festival!” 

Alongside conferences and workshops, visitors will be able to pitch to publishers and attend parties. The parties listed on the schedule include a pool party, so it’d be wise to pack a swimsuit.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
