EDUCATION
The speakers are, among others, the representatives
of Warhorse Studios – the studio behind the Kingdom
Come: Deliverance series – as well as representatives
of the Ostrava-based game studio Perun Creative
and the Polish studio and game publisher Take It
Studio. The programme will not only feature a range
of talks focused on real lessons learned from released
games, but it will also create space for networking,
the sharing of know-how, and the development of real
opportunities – from collaborations to recruiting new
talent. Both aspiring developers and experienced
professionals will find plenty to engage with.
The Into Games conference is held in conjunction
with Fantastická Ostrava – the largest pop culture
festival in the region, which attracts thousands
of visitors each year into the worlds of fantasy, sci-fi,
comics and cosplay. This connection is strategic, as it
offers studios and developers a unique opportunity
to showcase their work to people who represent
the natural audience for their games.
What Does This Mean?
Ostrava is gradually becoming a place where
the gaming industry and the cultural and creative
sectors have the potential to grow. The region has
strong talent, and local companies – from graphic
studios to technology start-ups – that can benefit
from collaboration with a rapidly expanding game
development scene. In short, Ostrava is set to appear
on the map of European game development very soon.
Behind the initiative are enthusiasts with a clear ambition:
to turn the Moravian-Silesian Region into a place where
games are created and where the gaming industry
has a solid, functional base – just as has already been
achieved in Prague, Brno or Katowice.
Co z toho plyne?
Ostrava se pomalu stává místem, kde herní průmysl
a kulturně kreativní odvětví mají šanci vyrůst. Talenty
v regionu máme a místní firmy – od grafických studií
po technologické startupy – mohou profitovat ze spo-
lupráce s rostoucí herní scénou. Zkrátka, Ostrava se již
brzy dostane na mapu evropského gamedevu.
Za akcí stojí nadšenci s jasným záměrem: udělat
z Moravskoslezského kraje místo, kde hry vznikají
a kde je pro herní průmysl funkční zázemí – stejně jako
se to podařilo v Praze, Brně nebo Katovicích.
