The event brought together game developers, designers, artists, and technology enthusiasts for two days of game development, mentoring, teamwork, and pitching. The programme also included invited speakers and ecosystem representatives, including Kanat Ydyrys, Project Director at OTS; Dávid Balló, President of the Hungarian Game Developer Association; Carlos Cordeiro, Founder & Managing Director of STRATLY; and Jack Mardack, Co-founder at Oyster. Teams developed and submitted 9 original game prototypes, received support from mentors, and presented their work to the jury before the announcement of the winners. Participants especially valued the collaboration, mentorship, hands-on experience, and networking opportunities, and many expressed interest in continuing to develop their games and joining future editions.
