505 Games and Point Blank Games Announce Collaboration Thanks to Global Top Round

It was recently announced at gamescom 2021 that 505 Games will be collaborating with the upcoming action RPG Stray Blade from Point Blank Games. This was made possible in part by Point Blank Games’ partnership with the video game accelerator program Global Top Round (GTR).

GTR is an interactive accelerator program dedicated to supporting small studios from all over the world. With expertise in development, publishing and fundraising, GTR works directly with developers and their teams to help make their games the best they can be.

"We've been part of the GTR Family for two years, and it's great being part of a big community of smaller studios that are now growing altogether,” says Leonard Kausch, CEO of Point Blank Games, “The business support of GTR single-handedly put us on the map and ultimately enabled us to build Point Blank Games into the team we envisioned."

GTR will be announcing another 2-3 partnerships within 2021 that they've made happen between their partner network and portfolio studios.

They would also like to announce and remind those interested in applying, that applications for the 2021 GTR conference will be closing next week on August 30th. Parties interested can head over to the official website to apply before the deadline.

Included below is additional information about GTR, their upcoming conference, and an exciting referral program happening now.

Video game accelerator program Global Top Round (GTR) will soon be closing applications for their GTR 2021 Conference taking place this October. Those interested in applying can do so until August 30th. That’s just a few more days to get in those applications and be a part of this exciting opportunity.

GTR 2021 is set to take place October 16th through 17th. The conference brings together the world’s brightest studios, publishers, investors and notable figures from the gaming industry at one event. Out of all that apply, 20 studios will be invited to the 2021 conference. At the end of the conference, 10 studios will be inducted into the accelerator program. Those 10 studios will also be eligible to receive funding starting at $40,000 as an initial investment. Chosen studios may also receive further investments of up to $360,000 through GTR and its angel network. In the last 18 months, they have raised over $18,000,000 USD in various Publishing and Investment Deals.

GTR has already invested in game companies in the United States (Big Moxi Games - Wardens), Brazil (Rogue Snail - Relic Hunters Legend), France (MOCA Umanimation -Dordogne), Germany (Point Blank Games - Strayblade), Finland (CloverCreek Entertainment - Ascended Realms), Italy (Dynamight Studios - Fractured) and more. They also work with worldwide partners for Publishing (NetEase, Nexon, 505 Games, Focus Home, Gamigo, Deep Silver amongst others) and Investors (NCsoft, Neowiz, Line Games, Colopl Next amongst others).

GTR is passionate about helping independent studios that may lack the expertise for making their project the best they can be. They are masters at identifying gaps, deficiencies, and unmet needs in game development. If you’ve found yourself thinking that you could use some advice or help, GTR is ready and waiting for you to dive in.

What can you expect from GTR 2021? With previous successful conferences in Hawaii, Cologne, Melbourne, Kuala Lumpur, Busan and Malta, GTR is incredibly excited to be hosting their conference this year in one of the fastest growing media sectors - Singapore. At past GTR Conferences, attendees were invited to sit down for presentations from notable figures in the games industry as well as hear from the 20 studios invited to the conference. Attendees would also get a chance to play some game demos, attend informational panels and more. The conference is a great opportunity to meet like-minded individuals with passions that align with yours. With dozens of success stories under their belt, GTR strives to make this year’s conference the best yet.

Whether you’re a team of two or twenty, if you’re looking to grow your studio, submit your application. If you have a AAA background or you’re just out of college, go for it. If you’ve got the making of a really great product, you’re encouraged to apply. Create a great pitch deck, brag about what you’ve been working so hard on, take a chance and you just might find yourself headed to Singapore.
