Gamecity Hamburg supports five game projects in the 2024 funding round as part of its Prototype Funding program. As early-stage funding for companies and start-ups based in Hamburg, the funding enables the development of prototypes of digital games with high market potential.
The awarding committee was once again faced with the difficult task of selecting the funding recipients from 29 high-quality applications submitted. Since 2020, a total of 31 game prototypes have been supported with the Prototype Funding.

Chaos Royale is a strategic PvP multiplayer game in which players take on hordes of monsters while using all their skills to disrupt and eliminate the competing players in their arenas. The goal is clear: be the last one standing. Monodot is a newly founded studio and successfully completed the Games Lift Incubator in 2023.
Map Map - A Game About Maps by Pipapo Games
Map Map is a cozy 3D exploration game with a unique cartography mechanic in which players explore wondrous landscapes to find a legendary lost treasure. In the game, players don't just use a map, they create it themselves, explore the island, and complete tasks for their companions. Pipapo Games completed the Games Lift Incubator in 2023.
The Regreening by Positive Impact Games
The Regreening is a cozy nature and restoration management game in which players befriend animals and folklore spirits and grow plants to revitalize a desolate earth. As the last human on the planet, players plant seeds to restore biomes, make friends with other creatures, and bring life back into the world.
A Most Honorable Bunch by Osmotic Studios
In this narrative deduction adventure, players take on the role of different characters one after the other on an island with a big secret. The characters each have their agenda to follow and investigate in their way. The story unfolds gradually through the different characters and events, depending on the decisions made by the players.
Melodies by Behind the Stone
Melodies is a horror adventure game with side-scrolling mechanics in a 2D look, in which players experience three self-standing horror stories. Introduced by a gloomy organ grinder at a carnival, players gradually slip into the roles of the protagonists of the three stories and experience a series of creeping, nightmarish changes in their everyday lives.
