Hello GDCy People! 👋
WN is almost here, and our friends at Mellow and Chrysostomides Advocates and Legal Consultants are hosting a private breakfast on day two — Whose Game Is It, Anyway? ☕️
Most studios believe they own their game. In practice, ownership is a chain of rights transfers from everyone who ever touched it: the outsourced artist, the composer hired for one track, the programmer who left three years ago. Any broken link in that chain shows up later: at due diligence, at a publishing deal, or in court.
Mellow and Chrysostomides Advocates and Legal Consultants (one of the oldest and Tier 1 IP law firms in Cyprus) will walk through how those chains break — with real cases. You'll leave with a practical IP audit checklist you can run against your own studio the same day.
📅 September 18, 09:00 | PlusSea, Agios Tychonas
📌 Register here: https://luma.com/6fphaj9q
The space is limited, only 30 seats, approval required.

❗️Hello GDCy People❗️
We have a BIG announcement — something we've been working on for a while.
For all studios and solo developers, two questions come up again and again:
❓How do I put together a pitch that publishers take seriously?
❓And how do I get it in front of the right publisher or investor?
There's another side to this. Publishers and investors receive hundreds of pitches and spend weeks digging through them to find the few that fit.
Together with our partners at Narwhal, we decided to build a bridge between the two.
Today we're proud to introduce:
THE BRIDGE by GDCy
The Bridge is a new platform designed to make finding the right partnership easier for everyone.
✅ For developers: become visible to publishers and investors who are actually looking for projects like yours.
✅ For publishers & investors: receive curated, hand-picked projects matched to your own investment and publishing criteria — instead of digging through an endless inbox.
Every submission goes through a review, so the projects publishers see are the ones that are ready to be seen.
Building a game and looking for the right partner? Looking for the next project for your portfolio?
Welcome to The Bridge.

@Blzr_dПривет, чат! 👋 Меня зовут Даниил, и я официально пополняю ваши ряды. Пришел сюда с корыстными целями: ищу классных людей, новые знакомства и, возможно, сообщников для работы над крутыми проектами (ну или хотя бы тех, с кем можно продуктивно поныть дедлайнам). Кто за любой кипиш, нетворкинг и совместный ворк — пишите, буду искренне рад пообщаться! ☺️☺️☺️

@TimFadeev 💭Hello GDCy People! 💭
Just a couple of hours left until we meet at Gerrard’s Kitchen & Bar! 🎮
We’re waiting for you from 19:00 for some proper GDCy networking, complimentary food & drinks, and our usual Cyprus vibes! 🌴
And to everyone already flying back from Gamescom — you can STILL make it!
Straight from Gamescom networking to GDCy networking — sounds like a perfect Friday to us.
See you in a few hours,
WE ARE GDCy! ❤️

Day one at gamescom dev - ✅🔥
Steady traffic at the booth all day. The most common question is some version of "there's a game industry in Cyprus?" and the follow-up is usually surprise at how large it is.
The report has done most of the work: almost everyone who picks it up asks for a printed copy. And a few people said it is the first real data they have ever seen on the region.
Unlimit and Mellow are on the booth with us and have supported this delegation from the start. Invest Cyprus is backing our presence here this week, too. Thank you to all three of you 🤝
➡️ Tomorrow, August 25: our General Manager Andrey Ivashentsev speaks at 13:45 on Stage 5, Confex Level 2 with the talk "The Last White Spot in EU Game Dev: How Cyprus Quietly Built 400+ Studios".
➡️ Cyprus Nights in Cologne opens in the evening. We are overbooked and registration is closed, but a lot of very good companies are coming and we are looking forward to hosting them!
We are at booth B03 until then and from Wednesday you will find us at the Games from Cyprus country pavilion in Hall 3.2!
