Higher, faster, farther: May the e-games begin!

In only a few hours, the 31st Olympic Games will officially open – and kick off an exciting two weeks! We will look on as every athlete once again calls upon the Olympic spirit to go “higher, faster, farther”. As you know, our feelgood team always keeps us on our toes with a wide variety of sports opportunities. The Brazilian martial art, Capoeria, is apparently in particularly high demand this quarter. Who would have thought? The course has definitely earned a seal of approval from our 15 Brazilian colleagues.

Goodgame up close: Valeska, Matt, and Steffi instagram for you!

If you follow us on one of our social media channels, you already know that we like to keep you up-to-date on everything that happens at Goodgame! For example, you’ve already met many of our colleagues and teams; we’ve taken you behind the scenes in game development, like when an exciting update was on its way; and of course we’ve told you all about our other highlights, whether it’s the launch of a new game or a sofa concert in our café.

Now we’re ready to take our social media to the next level by giving you a picture of what we do here, in the truest sense of the word! To this end, we tracked down the Goodgamers Valeska, Matt, and Steffi and asked them to join our social media team as Instagram posters – with photos of their actual everyday work!  Since they come from very different areas, namely campus services, game development, and the event team, their exciting posts are sure to keep you entertained!

If you don’t want to miss anything, you can follow us on Instagram under @goodgame_studios. Of course, first we have to introduce you to our three new Instagrammers and their jobs and preferences.

GOOD Teams – Breaking down language barriers in gaming

If you want to go global, you have to speak every language in the world – and that applies in the world of gaming, too! That’s why today, we’d like to introduce you to our localization team, which takes care of translating our games into over 25 languages. We met with Clara, localization lead, and asked her what makes her team special, how they work, and what else they do besides taking care of the text in our games.

When Clara came to Goodgame Studios in 2011, she was the only one responsible for the localization of our games. Today the team is made up of 19 talented linguists, who master a total of 15 languages and come from 12 different countries. Since we need more than 25 different language versions of our games, the team also works with external agencies.
