Sao Paulo, August 26- Today, we’d like to introduce you to another innovative Brazilian video game development studio, Webcore Games. Webcore doesn’t just make games — the studio takes ideas and pushes them to the limit, creating brilliantly colorful, immersive experiences. Between intense point-and-click adventures and family-friendly, early education-centric games intended for touchscreen devices, Webcore Games has excelled in its mission to bring a little bit of everything to everyone. As a critically-acclaimed studio, the company goes above and beyond the bold and pushes the limits of game development and interactive projects, furthering the explosive growth of the Brazilian gaming industry. We’d like to invite you to an opportunity to interview this incredible team and to check out their latest title Timo The Game.
Webcore Games is yet another example of the great things happening in Brazil’s thriving games industry and prominent members 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.
 
Webcore Games came about due to a friendship between Fernando Chamis and Winston Petty way back in 1999. Eventually joined by Camila Malaman, the company took an interest in the Brazilian Game Development scene in 2004 and set out to develop their own original IPs. Among other titles, the studio launched Freekscape: Escape from Hell (as Kidguru Studios, in 2010), which was the first fully Brazilian-developed game to be internationally released on consoles worldwide;  and Turma do Chico Bento, a  Facebook game with more than 3 million players in Brazil (as Insolita Studios, in 2013). The team has since gone on to win dozens of awards for their work, including eight Cannes Lions, two EGW Trophies for Best Brazilian Game, and the Kidscreen 2018 Award nominee.

Webcore Games has worked with a diverse range of clients, creating augmented reality interactions for Chevrolet and an interactive vendor machine called “Chocobot” for Nestlé, which allowed users to create their own virtual chocolate box that would then be assembled into the real thing. Webcore also created award-winning projects for brands like Anheuser-Busch InBev, C&A, Fiat, Globo TV, Honda, Johnson & Johnson, Netflix, Nike, Pedigree, Samsung, Unilever among others.
 
In 2016 the studio launched the game My Night Job for PS4 and Steam and in 2018 the PS4 version of Starlit Adventures in a partnership with Rockhead Studios. In 2019 was the global launch of Timo The Game, a mobile adventure game chosen by Google to be part of the Indie Games Accelerator Program in the same year. The studio is now working on two new games: Super Timo for Consoles and PC and TerraCodex: The Stolen Relics, a VR game to be released in early 2021.
 
In Timo The Game, players take on the role of the titular Timo, who finds himself lost in a fantastical literary universe. In order to get home, he must reunite the pieces of a shattered medallion spread across five unique book-worlds. With beautiful, adorable visuals and a touching story of discovery, Timo is a passion project from Raul Aguiar who wrote and designed the comic book that won the Spcine contest K.O. HQ 2017.

Brazil Games has worked tirelessly for the past decade to support thriving Brazilian game studios internationally — funding their attendance at international video game events and connecting them with partnerships and financial backing opportunities. As the 13th largest gaming maker in the world, Brazil’s local industry has a current growth rate of 13.5 percent annually and accounts for $1.6 billion USD of the world’s video game-related revenue. Through their work with their affiliate studios, Brazil Games is an integral part of their success.
 
If you would like to speak with Eliana Russi, Executive Manager of Brazil Games about Brazil’s explosive growth as a video game industry leader, please reply to this email and we will be happy to set you up.

Meet With Some of Brazil’s Most Innovative Indie Studios as They Descend on the Devcom Digital Conference

​
SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL (August 17, 2020) — Today, Brazil Games is thrilled to announce that 32 Brazilian game studios, including Hermit Crab Game Studio and Rockgames, will be part of a delegation attending Devcom Digital 2020. Taking place from August 17 to 30, 2020, these incredibly talented Brazilian studios will present their latest creations, innovations, and upcoming games, as well as engage in business development, form partnerships, and come together to do what they do best — bring quality video games to the market. 
 
In partnership with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil), the group is led by Brazil Games (the Brazilian Games Export Program) — carried out by the Brazilian Games Companies Association and Abragames.
 
“As one of the fastest-growing game development scenes on the planet, we're excited to show some of the amazing work from our growing stable of Indie Developers,” said Eliana Russi, Manager of Brazil Games. “Whether it’s simply getting the games into the hands of players or creating future partnerships, our studios can’t wait to hit the digital-floor at Devcom 2020.”
 
“Brazil has a substantial amount of incredibly talented Indie studios, and Devcom Digital is the perfect environment to get their names and faces out there in the industry,” continued Russi. “We truly believe in homegrown talent and want to show the world what we’ve all known for years — Brazil is a hotbed of extremely accomplished and gifted game creators.”
In addition, this year three Brazilian studios —out of 60 total — were selected to participate in the prestigious DevCom NRW GREEN Virtual Indie Expo 2020: Duaik, Fira Soft, and INSANE. 
  • Duaik is an independent game developer located in Sao Paulo, Brazil, founded in 2014 after joining Microsoft’s ID@Xbox program and receiving the title of “Inaugural Brazilian Developer” on Xbox One in 2015 from Xbox's Phil Spencer himself. Duaik’s first title, Aritana and the Harpy's Feather, won multiple awards including Best Game at SBGames 2014, People’s Choice at BIG 2014, Brazilian Game of the Year at TGA 2014, and many more. During Decom Digital 2020, the team will exhibit its sequel, Aritana and the Twin Mask.

  • Fira Soft is a studio that focuses on working with brands to create “advergames” and educational titles that connect clients and brands with a whole new demographic and player base. Founded in 2011, Fira Soft’s upcoming title Kriophobia promises a return to survival horror and follows a geologist named Anna who finds herself trapped on the sinister Zhokhov Island.

  • INSANE was a studio founded with one goal in mind: to bring the visually distinct, truly open-world sandbox MMORPG Profane to players everywhere. With a team of 25 industry professionals, INSANE is always looking for consultants, collaborators, and new tips and technologies. 
Several studios will have featured booths this year, with Duaik, INSANE, and Fira Soft exhibiting their work in the DevCom NRW GREEN Virtual Indie Expo 2020 booth, with Rockgames, Ludact, and Kokku hosting booths of their own. Brazil Games will also have a digital booth in the Country Pavillion, and registered attendees can book meetings with the Executive Team through the Devcom Meet-to-Match tool.
 
 In addition, several studios involved in external development, who bring their skills and expertise to outside clients in order to help them reach their goals and launch their games in a polished and complete package, will join the Devcom 2020 delegation. These studios can handle just about any aspect of game development, from creating 2D and 3D art and animation to engineering, porting and everything in between: 
  • Founded in 2014, Garage 227 Studios is an innovative Brazilian studio that now boasts a host of talented artists, programmers, and developers and has also recently expanded into the United States.

  • Kokku is nearing a full decade in the games industry as the studio for external development, with a hefty resume that includes work on lauded AAA titles like Horizon: Zero Dawn and Sniper Ghost Warrior among other VR and mobile games and is staffed by industry veterans with pedigrees from major studios such as Microsoft, CAPCOM, Tencent, SEGA and THQ.

  • Diorama Digital is the go-to studio for external development of 2D and 3D concept art, and since 2014 has worked on numerous large-scale titles like Just Cause 4, Overwatch, and Borderlands 3.

  • PUGA Studios is a top outsourcing company for 2D and stylized 3D art, with clients in 13 countries and a resume that includes work with game studios like Gearbox, Jam City, and Kwalee.

  • Manifesto Games, with almost 15 years in the industry, handles both development and operations for web and mobile titles, co-producing and developing games for Ubisoft, Bandai Namco, Disney, Sea World, and Zynga. 
These companies only scratch the surface of the massive and powerful presence Brazil Games plans on bringing to the event, with many, many more studios in attendance including: Aiyra, Aoca Game Lab, Aquiris, Beta 2 Games, Black River Studios, Canvas Games, Cute Army, Diorama Digital, Electric Monkeys, Epopeia Games, GamePlan Consultants, Garage 227 Studios, Hermit Crab Game Studio, Imgnation Studios, Izyplay, Kokku, Ludact, Manifesto Games, Monster Crossing Studio, Mr. Dev Studio, Petit Fabrik, PUGA Studios, Napalm Studio, Radioativa Game Sounds, Rockgames, Skullfish Studios, Webcore Games, and Wondernaut Studio.

About the Games Industry and Brazil
 Brazil is now the 13th largest video game market in the world and second in Latin America, only to Mexico. The $1.6 billion (USD) Brazilian games industry has nearly doubled in size since 2014, and the number of local gamers reached 75.7 million as of 2018, making Brazil the fourth-largest consumer market in the world. Half of both men and women in Brazil play mobile games, while roughly 40 percent of men and women play PC games, according to Newzoo. Purchase intent is healthy as well, as 83 percent of gamers in the region have made an in-game purchase within the past six months.
