The second ever DADIU alumni survey has just been released. The survey sheds light on positive trends in entrepreneurship and employment among former students. At the same time, the survey points to a games industry challenged by a lack of diversity and unattractive working conditions.

Join us for SpilBar Playtalks. A Playtalk is new format with informal short talk, where developers showcase their released game and highlight different perspectives and design choices along the way. The format always includes a live demo of the game and never use any slides. This time Thomas Ryder will talk about Midnight Girl, Erwin Kho will talk about Cocoon and Ida Hartmann will talks about Stilstand.

Join us online December 7 at 16:00-18:00 for the presentation of the five new DADIU games. DADIUs own Thomas Howalt and special guest Thomas Vigild will host the presentation. Each team will present their game and bring insides into their creative game development proces.

Some game companies succeed, some fail. But what are the moments that make or break a company or game project?
At Spilbar 57, we will look at the data about successful Danish Game companies, and developers will share breathtaking tales of the decisions that broke or saved their companies and projects.

Digital games are intricately connected to the platform or hardware they are designed for. This poses a unique challenge for conservators and researchers when they preserve games and their digital cultural heritage for future generations. In this special edition of SpilBar, we focus on the global state of digital game preservation while also taking a look at the curation of new exhibition #DKGame showcasing Danish digital games from the past six decades.
The venue for this event is The Royal Danish Library / The Black Diamond in Copenhagen.

At SpilBar 55 we want to explore possible climate initiatives in the games industry and dive into which efforts game developers and publishers can address to minimize the environmental impact of games and game development.
