Graveyard Keeper 2 Postmortem is confirmed 🤞 for #DevGAMM Lisbon (Nov 17-18).
Spent the week hanging out with game devs at @DevGAMM in Serbia The common theme is “what are you looking for as a publisher?” It’s this. We’re looking for high playtime. There’s a direct correlation between how much time players spend in your game vs how well it’ll sell. Graveyard Keeper 2 has a median playtime of 13.5h

Today is the last day to submit games for @DevGAMM Awards. New games are coming in faster than we can review the submissions! 🙈🙈🙈 Last year, we had 610 games. How many will we receive this year? Any guesses? 👀

OMG! These photos from the Portuguese Soirée are out of this world! So cute! ☺️ At #gamescom, we organized a networking dinner together with Xsolla and eGames Lab. What a splendid evening it was -- 100+ industry executives, great food, live sax music, and an incredible sunset overlooking the river and the Dom.

One of the best parts of running the DevGAMM Awards is hearing feedback from 600+ participating teams and 150+ judges. Every year, we review it carefully to make the competition even better. Last year, one message came through loud and clear: some great games didn't quite fit the existing categories or were overshadowed by larger productions. So, we've introduced a few new categories for the 2026 DevGAMM Awards: devgamm.com/2026/08/06/new-a…

Hey @mattpocockuk! You mentioned you'd be interested in speaking in Cyprus, and I've been trying to reach you via DM. I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know whether you're still interested. Even a quick yes or no would be a huge help 🙏 Thank you! 💖
