Road to Nordic - Four Hamburg indies present their games

The Nordic Game Conference is one of the most important games conferences in Europe, with an expo area, developer showcase, and plenty of opportunities for meetings. Gamecity Hamburg brings four indie games from Hamburg to Malmö with the "Road to Nordic" program.

We are looking forward to making new contacts at Nordic Game and exchanging ideas with like-minded people. Our participating devs and studios will showcase their games, match with potential partners, and present their projects to the conference audience.

These are the four games at Nordic 2024

About Cannons + Sparrows - About Cannons & Sparrows

In this lovingly animated Metroidvania/puzzle platformer, players control a small, newly hatched cannon. They now have to solve puzzles, fight enemies, and gain new skills to restore order in a forest infested with evil. About Cannons + Sparrows completed the Games Lift Incubator in 2022.

Amberdive Interactive - REPLICORE

Stay alert in this fast co-op shooter "REPLICORE" 

In this first-person co-op shooter, players fight with up to three friends through ruined desert temples on an alien planet guarded by the mechanical guardians of a lost civilization. The cores - unique high-tech spheres - give players powerful abilities they can use to defeat enemies. Amberdive Interactive participated in the Games Lift Incubator in 2022 and received Prototype Funding in 2023.

Map Map - A Game about Maps

Find out all about mysterious islands and what lies beyond in "Map Map - A Game about Maps"

In this cozy single-player exploration game, the players explore wondrous landscapes on enchanted islands in search of a legendary lost treasure. The twist of the game - instead of relying on a readymade map, the players map the islands themselves, complete quest markers by their crew, and discover the islands bit by bit. Pipapo Games were part of the Games Lift Incubator 2023.

Markus Koepke - Journey Beyond the Edge of the World

You are in for a mysterious boat trip in "Journey Beyond the Edge of the World"

This immersive first-person adventure game is set on a fishing trawler on the North Sea. The player explores his surroundings and slowly uncovers the mysterious story, which is filled with puzzles and narrated through radio transmissions, accompanied by atmospheric music. Markus Koepke was part of the Games Lift Incubator in 2023.

You can meet the teams and developers at our Gamecity Hamburg Booth at the Nordic Game Conference in Malmö from May 21 until May 24. Meet the Gamecity Hamburg team and talk about all things game development and support from Hamburg. We are looking forward to meeting you!
