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.

EveryMatrix goes āback to where it all beganā with new London office opening

Ā
EveryMatrix has opened a new central London office, 17 years after it was founded in the UK capital.Ā
Located in the heart of the city on the 25th floor of the newly opened 258,000 sq ft HYLO building in Old Street, London, the premium office space is home to various EveryMatrix teams, including several members of its OddsMatrix sports platform division.
The HYLO has been described as one of Londonās most exciting new buildings, boasting a high rise tower and large, efficient podium floors plus roof gardens and new public spaces all within the popular Shoreditch area.
Team members include UK-based ex FSB Technology employees who have successfully integrated into EveryMatrix, following its acquisition last year. Many of the team have been responsible for delivering the Groupās new horse racing product.
Built from the ground up in just six months, the EveryMatrix racing product is fully managed by the expert, award-winning former-FSB tradingāÆteam in London. The solution offers a wide range of global content, round the clock streaming, multiple derivative markets, granular price management and dynamic cross-product bonusing.
Designed to appeal to core racing markets such as the UK & Ireland and South Africa, customers also benefit from integration into EveryMatrix platform technology, offering increased scale, next generation user experience, enhanced bonusing and increased automation.
The new EveryMatrix London office is the third new global location to be opened this year with Chang Mai in Thailand and Cebu in the Philippines welcoming teams in March. This takes the total number of global EveryMatrix offices to 15 employing more than 1,400 staff.
The EveryMatrix workforce has increased by 40% since last March when the company announced its 1,000th employee while simultaneously cutting the ribbon on a state-of-the-art, sustainably developed and built office for more than 500 staff in Bucharest.
Ebbe Groes, Group CEO and Co-Founder, EveryMatrix, said: āWeāre back where it all began when Stian [Hornsletten] and I co-founded the business in 2008. This new opening brings back so many fond memories and Iām personally delighted to see the business come back full circle.Ā
