Hamburg now versatile games centre

Dennis Schoubye, Head of Gamecity Hamburg, said: "The applications submitted show the positive effects of our funding programs and offers for professionalization. In addition to newly-founded companies, experienced studios are also among the funding recipients. This once again shows the versatility and potential of Hamburg as a games location."

"Metacore" by Amberdive Interactive, "Project Renaissance" by Tiny Roar and "Reddie - Re-Run of Reality" by Curvature Games receive EUR 80,000. The co-op shooter "Metacore", in which teams of up to four players fight their way through ruins on an alien planet and defend themselves from machine guards, was developed in the Games Lift incubator 2022.  Meanwhile, the Tiny Roar indie studio has developed a point-and-click adventure game in which players in take on the role of "Joy", who embarks on a path of self-knowledge after a baby literally falls into her hut. Tiny Roar's "Project Renaissance" seeks to attract genre fans and those who have avoided adventure games in the past. 

Curvature Games lets players carry out immersive experiments as the character "Reddie" in this innovative mixed-reality adventure. They switch dimensions and realities repeatedly to find the solution. By using mixed reality, the players also interact with the actual environment.
