Global Game Jam, once again

Hey! As you might have noticed already, since December the Rat King is back in Germany, after their long trip to Brazil. It was a very event- and insightful stay, and we are glad that the Kunststiftung Saxony-Anhalt and the Goethe-Institut in Salvador de Bahia offered us this opportunity.

While we're back at working on various stuff, including contract work, we also prepare for the upcoming Global Game Jam in our city. Just like last year Friedrich is going to organize a GGJ site at the Designhaus Halle, and if you're around from 31st January till 2nd February you're invited to take part!

Last year we were around 15 people, which is a nice cozy number, and we hope for a similar, if not higher amount of participants this year. Someone even created a board game within the 48 hours, which was one of our highlights.

Greetings from Brazil!

The Rat King is currently not in Germany anymore, but resides at the Goethe Institut in Salvador de Bahia for two months. This was made possible by the Kunststiftung Sachsen-Anhalt! Our trip is an art stipend - they sent us to South America so we can work on a digital diary, which mostly means we will make small games that are inspired by Salvador (and other cities).

In Brazil we will try to get in touch with as many local people and also other artists as possible. And we will do short articles and a podcast on a dedicated blog: O rei dos ratos no Brasil. The content will be in German only though. Schaut vorbei!
