The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest by independent solo developer Programancer from USA has won the 10th Fan Favorite Weekly Vote in the Game Development World Championship 2021 (GDWC).

“The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest is a parody/homage to NES ClassicVania and other NES titles from the era. The titular hero, Simon Quest, has just arrived in Transylvania only to discover his vampire hunting rival, Stan Helsing, has already slain the evil Count Dracula. In order to reclaim the glory that should be his, he journeys across Wallachia to gather what he needs to resurrect the dark count piece by piece and kick his ass himself!”

The game and developer move on to the final voting round to fight for the win of the Fan Favorite category at the end of the GDWC 2021.

2nd place went to HOW WE KNOW WE’RE ALIVE by Swedish development team Motvind Studios. The game is a “free hour long melancholy, point-and-click narrative mystery set in the bible belt of Sweden. Lovingly crafted and richly animated, explore the melancholy atmosphere of a small Swedish town that time seemingly forgot.”

3rd place was taken by Kick it, Bunny! by Russian development team DillyFrame. “Many stone figures were erected by ancient bunnies among the oases, but a disaster struck and all the figures were destroyed. Your task, as a true bunny, is not only to find traces of the old bunny civilization, but also to restore their wonderful buildings.”

Congratulations to the winners in and huge thanks to all voters and nominees from the GDWC Team. The GDWC 2021 Fan Favorite category Winner is decided in a series of pre-qualifying votes leading to the Final Vote. Each week nine games are up for vote and battling for the place in the finals. Latest vote can be found at https://thegdwc.com.

Regulating the Game (RTG) has announced Evive Australia as the first innovation to take the stage at Pitch! – part of the annual RTG gathering in Sydney in March.

The event will take place at the famous Sydney Opera House on 9 March 2026, as part of the sixth edition of the international regulatory and industry conference.

Evive is an app designed to help people change how they play or seek support for gambling harms. Created by Sam DeMello, a tech specialist drawing on his lived experience of gambling harm, and supported by Jay Robinson, a safer-gambling expert with over two decades of harm-minimisation and prevention experience, Evive Australia aims to deliver personalised tools, resources and pathways for anyone seeking to reduce risk or access help.

“Evive brings together real-world experience, clinical expertise and technology to create an accessible and credible platform for change. Pitch! was conceived to spotlight exactly these kinds of innovations – ideas that challenge convention, improve safeguards and reimagine the future of regulation and industry practice,” said Paul Newson, Principal at Vanguard Overwatch and founder of Regulating the Game.

“Evive isn’t just another app, it’s a bridge between lived experience, behavioral science and practical support. It shows that compliance and compassion can coexist, and when they do, everyone benefits. The app gives regulators and operators confidence in credible harm reduction tools, while giving people a safe, stigma free path to change,” Robinson said.
