Indie Campus – Cologne

The Indie Campus – will provide assistance and suggestions how to prepare and release a functional game for an eagerly waiting audience.

Developing a game demands a lot from any developer, and even more from fresh and mostly inexperienced teams working on their first indie project.

With this in mind, it is not surprising that usually their focus is 100% on game engines, gameplay and their creative ideas. Important factors such as user retention, community building and even finances are quickly pushed into the background.

The Indie Campus – Cologne | Retention and Monetization Summit powered by 4Players will provide assistance and suggestions on how to keep the focus on the game, and while still creating the right environment as well as mindset to prepare and release a fully functional game for an eagerly waiting audience.

INDIE Hub and 4Players are happy to invite indie teams, freelancer and students to join informative lectures, workshops and discussions.
