It may have been 29 degrees outside, but inside Forum Lisboa it felt even warmer, as three contestants took the stage at Game Dev Camp in Lisbon, Portugal to fight for a seat in the Nordic Game Discovery Contest Season III finals next May.
After a close race between the contestants, presenting themselves and their games, as well as answering jury questions and working to sway the live audience, Flying Pan Studio finished on top with their game Keg Wars.
Keg Wars is an innovative take on the classic tic-tac-toe game, with players choosing cards of different abilities to dominate the board and achieve a three-in-a-row winning scenario.
As winner of the NGDC Season III qualifier in Lisbon, Flying Pan Studio has earned coverage by Mail.ru as well as PR support from Plan of Attack. They’re now ready for the NGDC Grand Finals, taking place at Nordic Game 2019, 22-24 May in Malmö, Sweden.
A big thanks to the organisers of Game Dev Camp for hosting the NGDC qualifier!
