The gamesweekberlin could not take place due to the Corona crisis, but indie games that many of you may not have on your radar are now being honored. Dev Booster will be awarding the prize for the best indie game today. We at MeinMMO are an official media partner and support the event.
This award ceremony is about: Normally, small development studios should have the opportunity to present their new indie games at gamesweekberlin. Since this is not possible due to the Corona crisis, they now have a digital space for it.
At “gamesweekdigital: Dev Booster” tomorrow, on Friday, June 26, the winner of the best indie game will be crowned. We will tell you how you can participate and which games are in the selection.
Dawid Hallmann, founder of MeinMMO.de, says about the event: “There are many promising game concepts and developer talents that deserve to be heard and supported. We want to set a sign here. This is also an initiative we are currently reinforcing with our launched initiative ‘Find Your Next Game’ on MeinMMO, GamePro, and GameStar, in which we will of course introduce the winner to our community. “
