Mechinus at Gamescom / Courage Cologne 2023

What a week at Gamescom! We kicked off in style showcasing Mechinus at Courage Cologne, which was held at the world famous Bootshaus night club, then onwards to Gamescom itself.


We were lucky to get a spot beside a fire exit at Courage, which provided some much-needed ventilation on an extremely hot and humid evening in Cologne.

At 7pm, doors opened to press, influencers and publishers, and we picked up a stack of business cards. Then everybody else began pouring in from 8pm. Like the other indie exhibitors, we had drinks tokens to give to people who tried the demo, and we also came prepared with special Mechinus themed keyrings to hand out - no two exactly alike!

We got fantastic feedback from players on the demo, and numerous important business meetings were held at Gamescom itself. A fantastic week in a beautiful city.

Evolution has shaped the mechanical eco-system over millions of years, and created a living breathing (sentient, refuelling?) environment. The first level is set in the equivalent of a mechanical jungle. The idea behind these ‘Flowers’ is that they use their petals like funnels…Community28 Jan 2024Using the power of prototypes to craft a show stopping demoI wanted to talk a little bit about how, when we see a finished feature in a game, we don’t see the months of prototyping that goes behind it, and how each of those prototypes helps to solve a problem and builds upon each other to get to an end goal. The video attached shows some of the protoypes we went through while developing a pitchable demo for our game - Mechinus - as a bit of a case stud…
