Since then, I’ve had the chance to help refine their pitch, talk strategy, and cheer them on.

Now, I get to collaborate with them directly and I couldn’t be more excited!

Because it’s bold, it’s weird, and it’s unforgettable.

Exactly the kind of indie game I love to support.

I first met Ashe & the team during the GamesGround pitching contest in Berlin.

I was sitting in the jury and got to judge... 😁

They came in *very* close to 1st place, and their pitch stuck with me.

While others needed more context, which helps us understand how to refine and clarify our storytelling.

Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by, shared insights, and rooted for us. Let’s keep building! Not just games, but connections, clarity, and creative momentum.

Onwards! 🚀

The feedback was honest and mixed, which is exactly what teams need to grow.

Some people “got it” immediately.

Getting caught in action snapping a selfie with Sam against the Cologne Dome backdrop. Let’s just say, the dome definitely stole the show.

I also had the privilege of sharing Gentleland’s vision with so many thoughtful minds.

Ever since I started my journey with Gentleland I have only met the kindest people.

But also people who are working hard and willing to fight for their goals and dreams!

I am very excited for what's to come next for our team!
