What 20,000 km to DevGAMM Taught Me About Global Game Development
Building Bridges, Expanding Perspectives
Traveling 20,000 km to attend DevGAMM wasn’t just about the miles—it was about the connections. As a studio deeply invested in creating sound for games, I left the event with more than just memories; I left with a broader perspective on the global game development community and a renewed commitment to fostering international relationships.
Here’s what I realized: the world of game production is changing. It’s no longer concentrated in a few major hubs. Countries like Brazil, Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Serbia, and many others are stepping into the spotlight with incredible talent and creativity. And this shift isn’t just inspiring—it’s transformative.
Why is this important for Flutu Music? Because we believe great games happen when diverse ideas collide. Partnering with international studios means learning from different creative processes, understanding unique challenges, and finding new ways to innovate through sound. It’s not just about us bringing something to the table—it’s about creating something bigger together.
During DevGAMM, I met developers from all over: Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Portugal, Brazil, and beyond. Their passion for making games matched our own. These conversations weren’t just inspiring; they reinforced the value of global collaboration. Every new relationship opens doors—not just for business, but for understanding how games can connect players worldwide.
For Flutu Music, these connections are key to our growth. International partnerships expand our creative toolbox, challenge us to adapt, and keep us pushing the boundaries of what sound can do in games. We’re here to show that studios from regions like Brazil have as much to offer as the traditional big players—and we’re ready to collaborate, share knowledge, and create unforgettable gaming experiences together.
As I left DevGAMM, I couldn’t help but imagine a less centralized world where game production thrives in every corner of the globe. It’s an exciting vision, one where talent is recognized no matter where it’s from, andwhere collaboration drives innovation.
To all the amazing developers I met: thank you for your insights, your creativity, and your openness. It’s partnerships like these that remind us why we do what we do.
And to anyone reading this—if you’re as excited about a more global gaming industry as we are, let’s talk. The world is full of opportunities, and we’re just getting started.
