Anti Talks Business: What Do YOU Want to Know? This one turns the usual conference talk around. Bring a question or problem you’re struggling with, share it with the room and let the Gamespace hivemind throw ideas, experiences and possible solutions your way.

Bootcamp Speedrun Philomena Schwab and Thomas Gervraud take the Swiss Game Hub Bootcamp and squeeze its process into one workshop. They’ll walk through the loop we’ve used in our Bootcamps. From finding an idea and promising niche to developing a game loop and put it to the test in a speedrun.

Quick Wins for Long Projects Jonas Tyroller shares a collection of things he wishes he had known sooner, practical ideas for getting more out of big projects when you’re working with a small team.

I Don’t Know If This Game Is Good Even after years of making games, knowing whether something is actually good while you’re building it isn’t easy. René Habermann from Bippinbits shares how they deal with that uncertainty, with examples from both successful games and projects they decided to cancel.

A few more things waiting for you at the Gamespace Conference! This time, it’s all about making decisions, testing ideas and figuring out what actually works. Whether you’re starting a game or already deep into development. 👇

More from the program is still to come. Join us in Zürich on October 8–9!

The Current State of Crowdfunding in Games Michael Liebe from Kickstarter shares what’s changing in games crowdfunding, what the numbers and trends look like, and why premarketing matters.

Making a great game is one thing. Figuring out funding, crowdfunding, publishers and everything around actually getting it out into the world is another. At the Gamespace Conference, we’ll have plenty of space for exactly those conversations.

Nice to see the Gamespace Conference making its way around! ❤️ October is getting closer, and we’re really looking forward to bringing everyone together at the Swiss Game Hub for the first Gamespace Conference. Thanks for the feature, GamesMarket!
