We are delighted to have received the nomination for the German Computergameprize 2010. It remains an anxious question whether we will persist with our project against the three other nominations and the added an additional price to the Serious Games Award 2009 we received at the CeBit in Hannover, Germany. The nomination for an award of this format, however, is in itself a great recognition of the long development time of more than two years, which we have invested alongside our studies. The awards ceremony will be held on April 29 as the culmination of the german Gamestage at the BCC in Berlin.

Oh happy day, we have been invited to present our Project Imagine Earth at the Campus Party Europe.

The event is also supported by the European Commission.

For four days, 800 young people from each of the 27 member states of the EU will participate in activities such as conferences, workshops and challenges centered around three knowledge areas: Science, Digital Creativity and Innovation.

Depending on the configuration they show themselves in different textures, from the rustic town up to the urban jungle with Business skyline. It’s a pleasure to watch them grow.
