reddot conference "Succedd by Game Design: Transmedia Challenges and Potentials"

On thursday the 17th of october 2013 the first game design conference by reddot took place - who are  known in the advertising and design industry because of their "reddot design award". The events topic was "Success by Game Design: Transmedia Challenges and Potentials" and there where keynotes the whole day, held by games industry celebrities (e.g. Crytek) as well as local game developers (Artificial Rome, kunst-stoff, Reality Twist, outermedia and kr3m).

As "transmedia" is an elastic word, the topic compilation and goals of the different speakers seemed a bit loose, but every speech itself was interesting and the event turned out to be a great opportunity to get in touch with people from the industry.

The event was hosted by Daniel Budiman, well known for the show "Game One" that he manages together with Simon Krätschmer, who should have been there too but unfortunately fell ill. His annotations and presentations were definitely a gain for the whole conference day. And of course I couldn't miss my chance to get a photo with him.

All in all it was an informative and nice event that left me curious about what will happen the next year.

Best,
