Recap: Game Playtest Night #5 at XPERION Hamburg
What a fantastic night! Our Game Playtest Night #5 at XPERION Hamburg once again brought together developers and gamers for an evening filled with exchanges, games, and fun: developers received valuable feedback for their games, and players got a behind-the-scenes look at game development.
Whether it was coop multiplayer games, cozy games about self-discovery, adventure and exploration games, discovering mysteries, blasting through chaos, or flashy action, the broad range of the Hamburg games industry was on full display at our Game Playtest Night.
A big thank you to all the developers who presented their projects, and to all of you who joined the event for playtesting - the amount of feedback and a night of fun! Thank you, XPERION, for the wonderful location!
We will be watching closely on the future development of these games made in Hamburg. See you at the next Game Playtest Night!
