Hi together and welcome to the next devlog!

Today's devlog is all about the very first Gameplay Showcase.

Gameplay Showcase


I'm proud to present you the first gameplay video of The First Explorers®.

In this video I talk you through the first minutes of a match and give some insights in terms of several game mechanics.

It was hard work to get to this state and I'm curious what you're feedback will be. Make sure to let me know your thoughts in the comments :)

Trademark


You may have spotted the ® symbol in the beginning of the blog post.

After a long process I'm thrilled to announce that I got the European Union trademark for The First Explorers®!

This is an important step for me, because it secures all rights to the brand for me. And this is not only the case for Germany, but the whole European Union.

game e.V.


Another interesting milestone for me, as a developer, is the membership in the German Games Industry Association game e.V.

I'm proud that I was accepted as a member, even though that I'm "only" a Solo-Developer.

This membership helps me to connect to a lot of other devs, publishers, streamers, associations, etc. in Germany and offers me other very valuable advantages.

Thanks for stopping by and I'd love to hear what you think about the Gameplay Video!

All the best,
Sebastian

PS: Here are some screenshots from the Gameplay Showcase, enjoy! :)
