Game Design at the ZHdK

On Wednesday, January 12, 2011, a knowledge transfer event took place at the ZHdK in Zurich, which we attended with COO Reto Senn. As part of the Game Business module, he gave the 3rd year Game Design students an insight into the professional life of games developers in Switzerland. Senn spoke about what it takes to successfully build up a company in this industry.

We are one of the few Swiss companies that develop games and apps. Most game designers prefer – or are forced – to look for a job abroad. Germany and America are the most popular locations for developer companies. However, Bitforge also aims to promote young talent in Switzerland to encourage people to take the plunge and set up their own company in Switzerland.
