blaidan Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Elektronite's Facebook page said today that a new build of Defender of the Crown will be shown.at Gamescon. They also mention that Miner 2049er will be "coming soon" so maybe they'll show that there as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Looking forward to both games,Miner 2049er will be great with new levels!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intymike Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 One week to go! We will show the release candidate of Miner 2049er. A brand new version of Defender Of The Crown. And maybe a surprise. You can meet at the booth Oscar G. and Arnauld Chevallier. If you are from Germany or the countries nearby, I highly recommend to pay a visit to the Gamescom and the Retro Area! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intymike Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 One "interested" question: when such an event in Italy? If you mean by this: Elektronite appearances on Retro conventions, shows, fairs, then my answer is: Valter Prette founder of Elektronite does this sometimes.

Oscar G. Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hello Emanuele, It is my understanding that there are only 3 big industry related conventions: for the US the E3, for Japan the Tokyo Game Show and for Europe the Gamescom in Koln. These events are mainly business-related and their main focus is for video game companies to announce their new products to the press and/or to sign distribution deals (hence the focus on each big market: US, Japan and Europe). These events are normally held for the press and industry (developers, distributors, etc.). The Gamescom is special because after its business day, it allows consumers to visit, hence its popularity. Gamescom is the only of the 3 big industry-events that eventually opens the door to ordinary folk. There are other events that focus more on playing or celebrating games rather than on the business side. In Belgium we have the Comecon, Made-in-Asia or Facts. I have heard that Lucca Comic in Italy is quite a thing. Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
