Through our "Road to Nordic" program, Gamecity Hamburg offered publishers, developers and other professionals from the Hamburg games industry the opportunity to visit the conference free of charge as part of our Gamecity Hamburg delegation. THREAKS GmbH, CrazyBunch, CRATR.games GmbH, Double Shot Audio, Prospector, OneManOnMars Art & Games e.K., Mooneye Studios, Tiny Roar, Studio Monstrum and Curvature Games were part of the “Road to Nordic” program and benefitted from networking opportunities and the possibility of presenting their projects.

Gamecity Hamburg compiled a delegation showreel that was shown in the conference live stream between the conference program points. It featured game trailers from THREAKS (Project MORPH), OneManOnMars (Leif's Adventure: Netherworld Hero), Mooneye Indies (Lost Ember & Haven Park) and Tiny Roar (Hellfire) - you can watch it below.
