DevGAMM 2022 finishes with a strong first showing in the Baltics
| After its fourteen-year history of conferences, DevGAMM was hosted in the Baltics this year, with its first-ever event in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. Over 750 game dev professionals from 36 countries and 117 cities attended the two day event. A portion of all ticket sales, sponsorship package proceeds and 11,000.00 Euros raised at the Charity Auction at the event will be transferred to the UA Responders charity fund that helps medical teams, hospitals, paramedics, rescue volunteers, and other first responders in Ukraine. DevGAMM 2022 hosted 42 sessions of talks, and discussion panels. The stelar speaker line-up included Leszek Szczepański (Guerrilla Games), Fawzi Mesmar, (Game Designer & Author), Ahmed Salama, (Ubisoft Stockholm), Henrique Olifiers, (Bossa Games), Sergei Savchenko, (Bethesda Game Studios) and Alex Nichiporchik (tinyBuild). These talks were accompanied by many others as well as several panels discussing music composition for games, finding purpose for junior specialists and more. Roundtable discussions moderated by Wargaming, Playrix, CM Games, and G.Round experts gathered attendees for private conversations about relocation, education, LiveOps, recruitment, game industry trends, publishing, and much more! The Public Pitch, hosted by Borys Trienin, premiered in real-life format where eight game developers presented their pitches to an audience of well-known publishers, with two winners selected: Vengeance of Mr. Peppermint, by Hack The Publisher and Halve, by Moonleaf Studio. |

Game Roast, which is a great tradition of DevGAMM, was a whirlpool of emotions and fun! The experts Henrique Olifiers, Michael Kuzmin, Alisa Gurska, and Alexey Davydov roasted four games and four developers. The host Alex Nichiporchik came up with the weirdest cocktails for losers that were drained to the last drop. DevGAMM Quest was the funniest activity for the event attendees.
