GGXP 2018

Good Game Experience (GGXP) 2018 was held from 8 to 9 September 2018 at Singapore Expo and Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands (MBS). GGXP is tied-up with the Singapore Toys, Game & Comic Convention (STGCC), and both are organised by Reed Exhibitions Singapore (Reed).

The Singapore Games Guild (SGG) participated and executed its third Singapore Pavilion supported by IMDA. A total of 9 game studios were represented showcasing their games.

This event also marks the first public appearance of the SGG branding as a stand-alone games association, where past Singapore Pavilions were represented by IGDA|SG (GGXP 2017, GameStart 2017).

The Singapore Pavilion was presented by a diversity of veteran game companies and new/emergent startups (including those from programs such as PIXEL and SUTD Game Lab). The games showcased range from Digital, Mobile, Virtual Reality (VR) and tabletop games. The exhibitors were allotted individual booths according to their industry experience - e.g. new/emergent startups were offered booths nearer to the main counter for better exposure.

The 9 game studios represented in the Singapore Pavillion are (games showcased are in brackets):
  1. Rawcat Studios (It’s a Start)
  2. S2dio (Portrayed)
  3. Shadow Shrike Studios (Stones of Samitari)
  4. Cubix (Weightless)
  5. Playware Hobbies (Avertigos, Oddbods Go-Kards)
  6. Boomzap (Last Regiment)
  7. Kaiju Den (Stratos Fantasea, VR Survival Game)
  8. Codomo (Potato Pirates)
  9. Capital Gains Studio (Cryptocurrency, Debtzilla)

Overall, traffic flow could've been improved as last year's GGXP had better human traffic. Nevertheless, the Singapore Pavilion was a good experience especially for those new to pitching / showing their game at gameshows.

Representing Southeast Asia in YANA’s #PlayApartTogether Initiative

COVID-19 has brought about tectonic shifts in the way the world interacts with one other, implementing work from home arrangements and home-based learning in efforts to control the spread of this highly contagious virus. We soon discovered that while some of us have embraced all-day PJs and more personal time, a home-based economy has also come with a number of social issues. Isolation, especially among those who live alone or are separated from loved ones, exacerbated feelings of loneliness, boredom and depression. In Singapore, we also have a large population of migrant workers whose living conditions were perfect for the virus to spread, and being far from home, can only rely on the goodwill of the government and Singaporeans to ensure that their well-being is taken care of. So, when our friends at MDEC (Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation) invited us to be a part of the international YANA (You Are Not Alone) initiative, we jumped on board. YANA’s goal was to bring people to
