We’re here! It’s finally GDC time and we’re happy to see that our first Mission San Francisco has garnered a lot of enthusiasm. Even though we’re only at the start of an exciting week of inspirational talks, new technologies and intensive networking, we can already consider this mission a big success.

Here’s a quick overview of the companies that have joined us:

• Crazy Monkey Studios are showcasing their latest game Guns, Gore & Cannoli 2 at the Xbox booth.
• PreviewLabs will, among other things, show off their expertise with Microsoft HoloLens to potential clients.
• Triangle Factory make games, apps and VR experiences for current and future platforms.
• Howest – DAE is a unique bachelor program in Europe that combines artistic and technical skills.
• The House of Indie is an indie game collective looking to help starting indie devs avoid the pitfalls of an early career through international mentorship. They recently hosted the succesful indie game festival Screenshake 2017 in Antwerp.
