The Goethe-Institut hosts the inaugural Joburg Games Fest, a community-driven event for game makers.
The event is a celebration of making games, creating art, collaboration, and the growing game development community in Johannesburg. The Joburg Games Fest is an opportunity for everyone to learn, share, create, and have fun with like-minded people.
The Fest includes a series of talks and workshops from local and international industry professionals who represent the growing industry and tackle conversations about the business, art, and creation of games. The workshops provide space for young entrepreneurs and those seeking to enhance their skills and creativity.
The festival also features a curated arcade, showcasing some of the best games made in the country and city alike. The event is being run in partnership with the Goethe-Institut Johannesburg and major studios in the city, including Nyamakop, 24 Bit Games, ITTYNK, and Two Name Games.
