Update: Follow the NGDC’s second season at discovery-contest.nordicgame.com!
On 12 September, five game companies will meet to battle live on stage at the Dev.Play conference in Bucharest, Rumania in the first qualifier of the second season of the Nordic Game Discovery Contest (NGDC).
Each developer will pitch their game in front of a panel of experts who will then decide on which project deserves to win and go on to the NGDC Finals at next year’s Nordic Game conference.
The winner in Bucharest will also receive a 1000 EUR cash prize, sponsored by our friends at Carbon.
The contest at Dev.Play takes place from 11:00-13:00 on 12 September in Bucharest – and the NGDC contestants are:
Sand Sailor Studio, presenting Black The Fall
