Gamescom 2018 – What a ride!
August 27, 2018
Wow!
As you know, me and my guys from Ceres Games went to this year’s GamesCom in Cologne, Germany,
which is the biggest computer game exhibition in the world!
Given this huge opportunity to show the world what we have achieved in the past two years we
decided that we couldn’t just come, set up a computer, stick a poster to the wall and sit there still
for six days – oh no! We came and brought a cabinet!
A cabinet, you may ask, what’s that all about? Well! Let me enlighten you: As some of you may
be aware of, I just cannot do anything without it being epic at least. So Peter, our big master chief
(srsly he’s tall :D) brought this old cabinet for me to decorate the booth with. And so I did! As
you can see it’s filled to the brim with all sorts of magic and let me tell you something: It’s the
same kind of magic you can find in our game!
(
Click here for a sneaky pic I shot when the master chief wasn’t looking, shhhht! *teehee*
I gotta admit that I was a bit too small to reach the top of the cabinet xD)
Here’s the thing. Without the help of the amazing people of
BattleMerchant.com, Alex Streb
from
Motu-fanfiction.de and my very dear friends over at
Kaptorga, who provided us with
beautiful items like crystals, armor pieces, swords, moral support and way too much love to
handle, this booth would not have been possible. All of us invested heart and soul to create
something that had the potential to inspire people and carry them away into a little fantasy
world. You guys rock and will be forever in our hearts! Hope to see y’all soon!
Tim Drude, Peter Ohlmann (Managing Directors), and your’s truly (Social Media Manager)
After we made ourselves comfortable a bit and arranged some ivy and really rustic chairs, our
booth attracted some people who actually became new friends! How awesome is that?!
Like the guys from
Keoken who are the devs of “
Deliver us the Moon“:
Please excuse my tired face
Or the mighty warriors from
Ymier Skjold, promoting the game “
Ancestors: Legacy” and walking
around the area banging their drum and blowing their horn:
There was a lot of fun and craziness going on, like always when friends visit you at the booth
And all sorts of interesting people:
And cosplayers!
And the my dear
Kaptorga colleague Johannes who was performing on stage with his
Saber group:
And even this crazy guy Can’t believe I met
Mr. Royal Phunk in person who did a double
take at our booth
And just when I thought it couldn’t get any more awesome than this, another thing happened.
I gotta admit I cried twice this day out of pure joy and being overwhelmed. I got recognized by
people passing by, new opportunities arose. And then we just won the prize for the
best Indie Arena Booth:
We were mostly busy handing out gift vouchers to people who were interested in the game.
Gift vouchers? you may ask. Gift vouchers! Right before the GamesCom Peter had the idea to
put people’s faces into the game in case they decided to back us on Kickstarter.
Realms Beyond is going to be supportable on Kickstarter, starting in October this year!
That’s right! And I will be making something decorative for you guys to wear aswell. We’re soon
going to announce a bit more of what we have in store for you.
Thank you guys so much for stopping by our booth and for all the compliments you guys showered
us with! It was a real pleasure meeting you all and listening to your little stories about when you were
playing Dungeons and Dragons, Ultima and Baldur’s Gate! Hope we’ll soon meet again!
Sincerely,
Alexis
