Other FTW programs

More than 500 visitors and about 50 speakers and participants will once again gather in mts Hall, and like every year, FTW! offers the audience an interesting mix of lectures, panels and workshops that are favorable to those who develop games for mobile devices, as well as core developers and designers, or other creative-tech niches. Some of the topics that will be in focus this year are publishing, the use of AI tools in production, ad monetization, news related to the most important game engines (Unity and Unreal Engine), external development (that is, outsourcing), as well as topics related to resistance to the crisis that continues to persist within the gaming industry. In addition, the Game Slice program offers indie teams the opportunity to present their projects to European publishers.
