Goethe-Institut Game Mixer Program 2017 for African game developers (Fully Funded to Johannesburg, South Africa)

Within the program “Game Mixer”, the Goethe-Institut aims to promote professional exchange between game developers from around the world. In 2015, the first Game Mixer Program took place in Jakarta and Bandung,Indonesia. The following year, the second iteration of the program took place in Sao Paulo, Brazil. In its third iteration, the Game Mixer program seeks to mix up the international game development scene even further by not only including game developers from Germany and the host country of South Africa, but by also inviting participants from broader Sub-Saharan Africa and the former host countries Indonesia and Brazil, too.

• be a professional developer from an African game company that has released at least one game;

• be able to communicate in English

Smaller, emerging studios are preferred, since they would benefit most from this programme.
