Pegasus Designer Days returns, January 2024
Friedberg, Dec. 19, 2023: Clear the calendar and get your prototypes ready—the next Pegasus Designer Days will take place January 30-31. Once again, Pegasus Spiele invites game designers from all over the world to present their best game ideas to the Pegasus Spiele editorial team via online conference. Registration is open now through January 21.
The first Designer Days took place in May 2020 during the Corona pandemic. Since then, Pegasus Spiele have held these events regularly, offering game designers around the world an opportunity to easily share their work with the Pegasus Spiele editorial team, without the need for travel. Two games that were first presented at the Designer Days have been released: the expert game Corrosion, by Stefan Bauer, was published by Pegasus Spiele partner Deep Print Games, and the fanciful memory game Memo Mission, by Christopher Garbe and Patrick Russell, was published by Pegasus Spiele this past March.
At the end of January, designers will once again have the chance to present up to two game ideas.* The board game editorial team, led by Klaus Ottmaier, is looking forward to new designs for both family and core games. Some weeks following the event, feedback will be provided for each game presented. For those ideas that spark the interest of the team, a playable prototype will be requested so the design can be tested extensively. Finally, the designers will be sent additional feedback—and possibly an offer for publication through Pegasus Spiele.
Registration is open now through January 21st. Please note that registering for Designer Days does not guarantee a meeting, as the number of attendees is limited. After review of all applicants, the selected participants will receive (no later than January 26th): an invitation, full instructions, appointment details, and the link to the video conference.
The Designer Days page includes the registration link, tips to help with your game design, as well as prepare for the presentation, and information about past events: www.pegasus.de/en/designerdays.
*Please note: we are not currently booking meetings to review children’s games or expert games.
