Welcome to Game Mixer South Africa!
The idea: game developers from all over the African continent, plus Germany, Brazil and Indonesia come together in Johannesburg for a whole week. They exchange experiences and knowledge, share ideas, connect with Joburg’s gaming scene and visit game studios – and play each other’s games, of course!
Game Mixer had its first edition in 2015 in Indonesia and its second iteration in Brazil in 2016. In 2017, it was South Africa’s turn: the country is an emerging market for the gaming industry and home to numerous internationally recognized gaming events. Of course there’s many exciting video game creatives working all over the continent, so we invited some of them to join us for the Game Mixer as well.
In Germany’s creative industry, software and games account for the most dynamic market and leading exports. Games of cultural and pedagogical value, technical or gameplay-related innovations or games of high entertainment value are awarded annually with the German computer games award. You can check out some of the recent winners at the Game Mixer South Africa.
Partners of the Goethe-Institut in this project are Digital Gaming Culture Foundation, BIU – Bundesverband Interaktive Unterhaltungssoftware, GAME – Bundesverband der deutschen Games-Branche, A.MAZE Festival Johannesburg, Interactive Entertainment South Africa (IESA), Fak'ugesi African Digital Innovation Festival and Wits Digital Arts Department. The project is funded by the Foreign Office of the Federal Republic of Germany.
