“What started out as a crazy idea ended up in creating one of the freshest showcase formats for the most talented independent minds of gaming. We are humbled that we are part of this initiative, and just as the event itself is so very diverse, the mix we as Headup can add to it – from old-school space shooting over RPG, Metroidvania, Twin-Stick gunfights up to a deeply touching narrative experience – reflects 100% what we believe in ourselves: Not limiting us to genres but seeking the best creative talent and giving these great teams the stage presence their labor deserves. We hope many players will follow the developers and us on this crazy ride.” adds Dieter Schoeller, CEO & Founder of Headup. |
