Game Development World Championship 2020 Breaks Competitor Records
The Game Development World Championship – GDWC for short – has seen a larger turnout of participants than any previous year, with over a thousand development teams from nearly a hundred countries joining into the championship. This is partially due to the championship’s fully online operation, which has allowed for developers across the world to participate regardless of the global pandemic situation which has shadowed this year.
“We’re happy to see so many new devs from all over the world join in and how our community has grown. We’re thankful to the global developer community for taking this competition as their own and glad that games and development can bring some light and joy to people in these difficult times”, says Olli Mäntylä, the GDWC Manager
The GDWC is the largest yearly online competition for game developers. It’s open to all kinds of games on all platforms, (PC, Consoles, Mobile, Browsers, VR, and even Board Games), and to development teams of all sizes and backgrounds from large professional studios to small indie teams and individual solo developers. The games compete in multiple categories and winners are picked by a jury of industry professionals as well as the players and are rewarded with a trip to Finland and a bunch of other great rewards.
If you have a game in development or released this year, there’s still time to participate as the submissions are open until the end of the year. Check out the prizes and submit your game on the event website at thegdwc.com!
And if you’re a gamer, you can check out the nominated games and cast your vote on the same site each week! It’s also a great way to stay up to date with the newest games and to find some hidden treasures.

Zeus strikes in Evoplay’s electrifying Temple of Thunder III
Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, is unleashing the power of the gods in Temple of Thunder III, an action-packed slot where thunderous features, powerful Boosters and divine rewards combine.
Set atop Mount Olympus, the 5×3 release sees Zeus command the reels as the premium symbol, while gold crowns, divine harps and ancient treasures light up every spin.
Semi-stacked symbols and wilds create further win potential, building momentum towards the game’s feature-packed bonus rounds.
At the heart of the game is the Hold & Win bonus, triggered by landing six or more Cash, Jackpot, or Booster symbols anywhere on the reels. Once activated, Bonus symbols lock in place and players are awarded three respins, with every newly landed symbol resetting the counter.
Cash symbols award instant prizes during the feature, while five fixed Jackpots, Mini, Minor, Major, Mega, and Grand, can be collected for valuable rewards.
Booster symbols intensify the gameplay further, with Cash Boosters increasing all visible Cash values by 50%, Super Cash Boosters doubling them, and Jackpot Boosters upgrading visible Jackpot symbols to the next tier.
Players who manage to fill the entire grid with Bonus symbols during Hold & Win trigger the powerful Full Grid 2x feature, instantly doubling all collected rewards before the round concludes.
Temple of Thunder III also features a Free Spins mode, triggered by landing three or more scatter symbols. During the feature, Zeus appears more frequently, wilds become more impactful and the chances of activating the Hold & Win Bonus are significantly increased.
Additional Free Spins can also be retriggered throughout the round, extending the potential for winning combinations.
For players seeking instant access to the game’s key mechanics, the title offers a bonus-buy option, including direct entry into the Hold & Win bonus as well as 10, 12 or 15 Free Spins.
Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Temple of Thunder III combines some of our most engaging mechanics into one high-energy experience, blending powerful Hold & Win gameplay with dynamic Boosters, Free Spins, and a strong mythological theme.
“From escalating Jackpot upgrades to the potential of doubling rewards with the Full Grid feature, the game delivers constant excitement and plenty of opportunities for players to chase divine wins.”

Pragmatic Play Releases Seotda Baccarat
Pragmatic Play, a leading content supplier to the iGaming industry, has expanded its live casino collection with the release of Seotda Baccarat, combining traditional baccarat with a Korean-inspired Seotda card game.
This distinctive baccarat variant is played using a 20-card Hwatu deck, where each card represents a month from January to October and carries a points value. The aim is to predict whether the player or banker will receive the higher-scoring two-card hand, removing the standard third card draw for a faster, more streamlined experience.
Further depth comes from three special “Bright” cards. Bright cards carry the highest value in the deck and are the focus of side bets, unlocking higher win potential compared to classic baccarat.
Steeped in culture and easy to play, with enough strategic depth for players who are already familiar with either baccarat or Seotda, this innovative live casino release is as engaging as it is eye-catching.
Seotda Baccarat further diversifies Pragmatic Play’s premium live casino portfolio, following the launch of headline game show Gates of Olympus Roulette in April.
Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, said: “Seotda Baccarat brings together two popular card games in a way that feels fresh and authentic. By combining the vibrant Hwatu deck with familiar baccarat betting mechanics, this release gives casinos a first-of-its-kind live casino experience designed to elevate their live lobbies. And, by the way, it’s pronounced soo-da!”
