Our team grew! 

We had to pleasure of welcoming Jill, Vic, and Sam to help DAE Studios in its mission to kickstart profitable, self-sustaining game studios. Interested to know more about us and our experiences? Read the article! (from left to right: Sam, Jill & Michiel)

We participated in 2 new studios

We had the privilege to welcome two very promising game studios to our network: Godspear Games, led by Oscar Tullekens, and Anaxanthia led by Arne Vandamme. Both are currently developing their first titles: 

• Textbound Tales – Godspear Games

• Conduit Station – Anaxanthia

> Discover all companies in our accelerator!

A new and better program

We used the summer of 2022 to optimize how we can help start game studios. Our new program consists of 3 phases: Discovery, incubation, and acceleration. Learn all about it!

A year full of community events

Over the year, we hosted several expert talks and workshops on all topics related to game development, such as project management, networking, pitching to publishers, etc. Our goal for 2023 is to expand our topic list and share even more knowledge!

Our talk at the Unwrap Festival about starting your own game studio was a big success!

Jill and Sam had the pleasure of giving a talk about starting a game studio during the Unwrap entertainment festival. The room had 30 spots, but it was packed floor to ceiling! We loved the cozy vibe, but oh man, it was really hot with all those people! We look forward to giving more expert talks in 2023!

2 Games a Month – 2022 edition

The second of edition of 2 Games a Month was once again a great success. In collaboration with The National Lottery, CrazyGames and Elaut Amusement our teams created some great games. On top of that, the 2022 edition resulted in 3 new game studios, an amazing outcome! Learn more about 2 Games a Month.
