The 3d edition of the Zurich Game Show took place last September. Supported by Pro Helvetia, the Swiss Game Designers Association (SGDA) helped to showcase 21 Swiss games (the biggest delegation at the festival to date) and launched the first edition of the SGDA Producer Workshop.

The workshop included case studies, best practices involved to bring games to the market and discussions based on the participant’s projects and experience. The event was an open format welcoming all game creators.

The insightful information given during the case studies inspired discussions and Q&A that were held after the presentation, underlined the importance of game production processes and tools to develop and put games on the market.
