The Endless Wyrd wins first NGDC Season V qualifier

The Endless Wyrd wins first NGDC Season V qualifier

As the Nordic Game Discovery Contest concluded its fourth season with a spectacular live finals competition during the NG20+ conference online last month, a new NGDC season kicked-off in December.

The first qualification round of the NGDC Season V took place during Africa Games Week in Cape Town on 3-4 December.

Africa Games Week continues to drive exposure, opportunities, knowledge and investment to African game developers connecting them online to the world.

Among the many titles submitted for the first NGDC Season V qualifier from across Africa, three games were been selected for the contest in Cape Town:

Design Imps (South Africa) presenting The Endless Wyrd
Dream Box (Zimbabwe) presenting Xoli and the World of Tomorrow
Sanaawavelab Media (Kenya) presenting Zawadi Rally

The online qualifier was recorded then broadcast as part of Africa Games Week, with participants able to follow an intense live pitch battle with two of the contestants closely tied until the final round.

In the end it was Design Imps with The Endless Wyrd who were best at swaying the judges, and so the first finalist to earn a seat for next year’s NGDC Grand Finals is Design Imps from South Africa. Huge congrats, and see you at the Season V finals in 2021!

As we move into NGDC Season V, a final shout-out to our fabulous Season IV sponsors, including Xsolla, Versus Evil, AWS Game Tech, Microsoft, WhisperGames, Plan of Attack, Matchmade, Nordic Game Ventures, Karmafy, DDM and 80 Level.
