Recap: HAW Hamburg Display - Final Presentation 2021

On the evening of July 15, a large number of guests gathered at the Gamecity Online Hub! What was going on? The HAW Hamburg final presentation was going on. Read here what the Hub has to do with it.

HAW Hamburg held their traditional party to present the final projects of their Games Master students at the Hub. We had 75 visitors on the Hub, many more watched the live stream with the presentations, where each team presented their game in detail. In addition, several professors gave brief speeches. The presentation was moderated by Luis Baltes. The youngest Games-Master class was also represented in the stream with small mobile and browser games from their first semester.


After the presentation, all visitors were able to take a closer look at the games of the graduating class at the specially set up arcades, where they also found links to itch.io or the Google Play Store to try out the games themselves.


If you missed the live stream or want to watch it again, you can do so on the YouTube channel of the Games Master. The arcades will also remain set up this week in the Gamecity Online Hub, more precisely in the Gamecity Headquarters in the cinema area. Here, too, there is still a chance to drop by and test the games. All games on display, as well as those from previous years, can also be found on the Games-Masters website


Many thanks to all visitors and of course to HAW Hamburg for this great event!
