🌟 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 🌟 At SpielFabrique, we believe that indie game studios are the 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗹 of the gaming industry. Their creativity, innovation, and bold ideas inspire us year after year. That’s why, with our partners Polo Nacional de Contenidos Digitales de Málaga and Arctic Game, we’re thrilled to launch the third 3️⃣ edition of the 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 (EVA) in 2025, co-funded by EU Digital & Tech / Creative Europe Media. But why do we keep doing this? The answer is simple: indie studios have incredible potential, and we’re here to help them unlock it. 🎮 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 (𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼𝘀) 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗲𝗱 Europe is full of indie studios bursting with talent, but turning a great idea into a successful game—and a sustainable business—is no small feat. Through EVA, we offer hands-on support to help studios grow: ● Personalized mentoring to tackle their unique challenges. ● Workshops with industry experts to sharpen their skills. ● Access to investors and publishers to bring their dreams to life. 📈 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 EVA isn’t just about helping studios finish a game—it’s about building long-term success. We focus on the bigger picture: ❓How can studios scale their businesses? ❓How can they find their audience in a global market? ❓How can they create a strategy that sets them up for the future? 🌍 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗕𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 One of the things we’re most proud of is EVA’s ability to create connections. We regularly take studios outside their local markets—both literally and virtually—to help them meet peers, mentors, and potential partners from across Europe. By the end of the program, they’re not just better at business; 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆’𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆. 🤝 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 Every year, we see EVA participants grow in ways that inspire us. They leave the program with more confidence, stronger networks, and projects that are ready to shine on the global stage. For us, there’s nothing more rewarding than watching an indie studio take that next big step. This is why EVA is back for 2025. Indie studios deserve 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁, 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 to succeed. We’re honored to be part of that journey. If you’re an indie studio ready to take your game—and your business—to the next level, join us for EVA 2025. Let’s make something amazing together.
