Do you remember the King’s Landing in Game of Thrones? Now, the global game industry is going to meet there in a few days. The real world King’s Landing, Dubrovnik, is going to host the fifth edition of the high-end game industry conference, Reboot Develop 2018 on 19th, 20th, and 21st April 2018. This historical Croatian city’s Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera conference resort will be the meeting point for global game industry developers, artists, publishers, sales and marketing experts, PR managers and you name it. International game conventions and companies like Nordic Games, PG Connects, European Games Developers Federation, Gamasutra, GameIndustry International, Games Slovenia and many others have joined hands for this three-day game festival.
For 2018’s Reboot Develop, more than 110 renowned speakers are anticipated for the talk sessions in seven major tracks where a great deal of knowledge transfer will take place. The attendees, be representatives of game studios, indie developers or students, can meet the best personalities in the game industry and can build their network. Besides the serious talk sessions, there will be several interesting fringe events like parties, social side events and other game industry related events.
Throughout the event, there will be a business to business exhibition area where developers and studios can exhibit their games, products and services to global publishers and investors and can showcase themselves as industry experts. While giving plenty of opportunities to established studios and professionals, this fiesta acts as a great platform for indie developers and studios too. The Reboot Develop Indie Expo Area is one of the finest places for indies to get global exposure. Besides, indies can also participate in the Reboot Develop Indie Awards competition where the awards will be presented in five categories: Game of the Year, Outstanding Gameplay, Visual Excellence, Best Audio and Special Selection. The winners can win prize money worth $2000, memento and special sponsored goodies. Apart from the competition, there will be a Reboot Pitching Session, which helps the developers getting investments for their projects. Every year, Nordic Games organizes the Game Discovery Contest. It selects the qualified games through various global game conventions and exhibitions like The Reboot Develop. This year too, the winners of the Reboot Develop 2018 can own a chance to participate in NGDC.
Every game convention or festival is different from others in one way or the other. The Reboot Develop is distinguished with its annual International Game Industry Football tournament. Nordeus sponsors this soccer event. However, the team size in the competition is just limited to five, with one reserve.
