São Paulo, April, 23 2020- We would like to introduce you to Brazil-based Rogue Snail and their latest game, Relic Hunters Legend which GameSpot described as “If Cartoon Network Made Destiny”. A sequel to the award-winning Relic Hunters Zero — rated 9 out of 10 with over 6,000 positive Steam reviews –  Relic Hunters Legend will launch on Steam Early Access for Windows PC and Mac in Q3 2020. 

A studio who has made games for over a decade, Rogue Snail is another critically-acclaimed example of the great things happening in Brazil’s thriving games industry and a prominent member of Brazil Games — an export program created by the Brazilian Game Companies Association, ABRAGAMES, in partnership with Apex-Brasil, the Brazilian Trade, and Investment Promotion Agency.

Their first game Relic Hunters Zero earned a BNDES Entertainment Game award during Brazil’s Independent Game Festival (BIG Festival) in 2015 while Relic Hunters Legend earned GDC Play 2019’s Best in Play.

An innovative take on the top-down shooter, Relic Hunters Legends blends classic loot-shooter action with deep RPG elements and aspects of vertical-3D gameplay, wrapped up in intense cooperative multiplayer mayhem. Players embark on a touching tale of friendship as they take on the role of a mysterious time-traveler who joins forces with a rag-tag group of would-be heroes to defeat the time-thieving Duke Ducan who has stolen the past. 

Rogue Snail was founded by CEO and Game Designer, Mark Venturelli, one of the minds behind Dungeonland — the only Brazilian game to make Steam’s top 10 best-selling game list — along with Brazil Games’ Behold Studios, creators of the award-winning Chromasquad. Formed in 2013, Rogue Snail infuses their love of games in all that they do — and it shows! Whether they are organizing charitable events or developing award-winning games, the team continually strives for excellence.

São Paulo – Brazil, April 9th, 2020 – BIG Festival (Brazil's Independent Games Festival), the largest independent games festival in Latin America, will have for the first time a fully online edition, which was named BIG Digital. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the event organization opted to hold an online edition in 2020 with 5 days of business rounds and free lectures on the Brazilian games industry, from June 22nd to 26th.

The 8th full and presencial BIG Festival edition, bringing its usual three structuring pillars, games festival, lectures and face-to-face business rounds, has been rescheduled for January 2021. The event takes place from January 27th to 31st, 2021, at Frei Caneca Convention Center, in São Paulo.

"Our matchmaking tool, developed to book and hold presencial meetings, has been adapted for online meetings", explains Gustavo Steinberg, Director of BIG. Following the trend of major international game festivals, such as Pocket Gamer Connects Digital and GamesBeat Summit, BIG Digital takes place in 2020 with this new format. The online edition also meets the wishes of Brazilian and Latin American developers, who were lacking business networking opportunities due to the cancellation of part of the annual agenda of the industry.

"BIG Digital will be fundamental to help with the export of games and services from Brazilian game companies. Organizing meetings with publishers, buyers and international investors will be essential to guarantee the growth of the Brazilian game industry, even during this difficult moment that we are all going through. ", says Eliana Russi, executive manager of  Brazil Games - the export program created by the Brazilian Independent Game Companies Association, ABRAGAMES, in partnership with Apex-Brasil, the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency.

BIG Digital takes place from 22nd to 26th June. In addition to business meetings, the event will also have online sessions on the Brazilian game industry. The complete program and the opening of registrations for both lectures and meetings will be announced shortly.
