lineup:
The Mad Bitter
(Gameboy, Experimental, Hamburg)
Crazy, erratic and edgy chiptunes from the anarchistic heart of Hamburg.
The Mad Bitter has been introduced to 8-Bit music
in 2012 at the Blip Festival in New York and has been making music on the Gameboy ever since.
With his violent mix of trap, drum ‘n bass and breakcore he takes all the innocence out of this portable gameconsole.
The Mad Bitter also the founder of 8 Pauli, a series of regular 8-Bit parties in Hamburg.
https://soundcloud.com/the-mad-bitter
Midi Man
(Gameboy Tekkno, Berlin Micromusic HQ, Berlin)
Midi Man discovered the light of the sequencers at the beggining of 2007, while he was working with synthesizers such as Korg EMX/ESX or Jomox XBase 09.
After his first performances with his high tech equipment,
he started to show interest in the art of the synthesis of the analog sounds and he made his own semi-modular synthesizer as well as his C64 SIS synth.
After some time, he got tired of so much technology and he bought a Game Boy with a software called “Nanoloop”,
while his interest in “LOFI” sounds was starting to grow up.
Since then, the fun started and he succesfully created his first songs and started to perform with his grey Game Boy.
Consequently his contacts in Europe have been growing up allowing him to play in cities such as Wuppertal, Dresden, Frankfurt, Koblenz or Valencia.

Memero
(gameboy-breakcore/KillbotClosebrace M Openbrace RecordsaceMOpenbrace/Berlin)
Harsh and powerful sounds mixed with fast, complex and irregular drum flavoured noises.
No samples and not external inputs: all sounds are made by synthesize and modelling raw waves from the Gameboy sound chip.
Memero is an italian gameboy-breakcore musician based in the Berlin.
His music path starts in 1998 playing guitar and writing songs in indipendent, punk and experimental bands.
In 2006 he moves to Rome where the free tekno and breakcore scenes radically change his approach to the music production: software like Renoise and Pure Data give him the chance to explore sound synthesis basics
and start an endless research in the creation of complex rythms.
In 2007, getting inspired by hardcore chip musicians
like Dogmatech and Dj Scotch Egg, he gets his first LSDJ copy and a Gameboy (the first ever!) and starts releasing again his creativity in this limited-but-inpiring environment.
Memero works are linked and released on lo-fi hardcore music record labels like Killbot (AU), Datathrash (USA),
Rainbow Diving Butterflies (De), Various Vegetables (De), and Rexistenz (It).
At the end of 2013 the australian Killbot Records released the “Spaety” record with
two Memero`s “Squarewave Injection” tracks selled then in the Praxis Records shop in Berlin.
Memero is currently self producing his music on vinyl and playing live in squat basements and underground clubs.

Welcome to the March edition of Berlin Mini Gamedev Jam, where artists, designers and all others who want to be part of the game creation process are invited to our monthly event for experimenting with creating small games.
For logistic reasons, we make an exception and the event takes place on Sunday (Sonntag) rather than the usual Saturday (Samstag).
Berlin Mini Game Jam is a relaxed 8 hour prototyping workshop: After we have chosen a theme together, we form teams or go solo to make game graphics, concepts and prototypes on computers, phones, cardboard or physical space. At the end, we present the results to each other.
Create whatever you want, just bring any materials you need.
Everyone is welcome! Really! Artists, game designers, coders, hobbyists or professionals. Any gender, any background! We always have lots of new people, so don’t worry if you don’t know anybody yet: You’re quite welcome too.
There is no participation fee thanks to co.up coworking. You can return their kindness by buying some of their 1.50€ drinks! Post-jam pizzas sponsored by pizza.de!
We have a Facebook group too, by the way: Berlin Game Developers Meet-Up.
Oh, and don’t forget to post a theme suggestion in the comments. See you at the jam!

Talk & Play #11
2015-02-25 19:00 - 23:00 | Supermarkt, Brunnenstrasse 64, Berlin, 13355, Germany
Talk & Play is a free event organised by BerlinGameScene.com, taking place every two months, that provides the opportunity to local game enthusiasts, players and makers to meet and exchange knowledge in a friendly, relaxed and safe environment. Everybody’s welcome, regardless of their background and knowledge level: if you like games, we’ll make sure you have a good time! Important: this is NOT an event only aimed at developers!
RSVP on meetup.com • RSVP on Facebook

HOW IT WORKS
The event is structured in two parts:
– TALK: A couple of short game-related presentations, followed by a Q&A session, with a special live music break courtesy of Alfred Ladylike & her ukulele
– PLAY: All participants are welcome to bring games they’ve made or are still working on – a perfect opportunity to discover and play new games, collect feedback and, who knows?, maybe find collaborators for future projects

AGENDA
– 19:00 Doors: come early to get one of the best seats, have a drink or something to eat if you like
– 19:30 Talks: with short music break in the middle
– 21:00 Game showcase & networking: play games and chat with their creators, or just hang around and meet new people
– 23:00 The end aka “Gone Home”

THE SPEAKERS
– Markus Kaikkonen is an indie developer and entrepreneur. He’s going to share some learnings that might help and surprise indie developers that want to publish mobile games (and make living out of it), based on his experience creating RGB Express, which has been downloaded more than 3.5 million times.
– Ruth Bosch is a 2D game artist and illustrator who just recently joined the Berlin game scene. She is going to talk about how to effectively create 2D art for jam games with limited resources, little time and almost no sleep at all.
– Allan Cudicio worked in business development for a very large and a very small firm, then decided to turn his passion into a job and is currently training to become a game designer at Berlin’s Games Academy. His talk will be about understanding how we limit ourselves when choosing settings for our games, and how to overcome this by exploring more cultural diversity.
THE GAMES
These are some of the games that will be playable during the second part of the evening:
– CardCrawl by TinyTouchTales
– Curious Expedition by Maschinen-Mensch
– DYO by Team DYO
– Flirtevator by Flirtevator Team
– Freya by Children of Freya
– Hatchlings by Snorkel Squad

Berlin Kinect Developers Meetup
2015-02-23 20:00 | Digital Eatery, Unter den Linden 17, Berlin, 10117, Germany
Kinect Developers who want to show their projects, discuss new ideas and challenges and who try to push the boundaries of what is possible with the Kinect V1 and V2 sensor. The meetings will range from presentations to hands on coding sessions.
Hi Everyone!
The next meetup is scheduled on Monday the 23.02.15, 20:00 again at the Digital Eatery!
As decided at the last meetup, again projects and, in addition, ideas for Kinect-Applications can be presented. So if you have a cool project you want to present, great! If you have “just” a cool idea you want everyone else to hear (and perhabs find someone to work on with), also great!
Again if you want to present something you will need your own laptop, we will organise a Kinect V1 and V2.
We hope to see you all there!

Creative Code Jam
2015-02-21 11:00 - 20:00 | Berlin, Germany

What is this event?
A relaxed (but intense) prototyping day. Participants are invited to form teams, improvise and create something together in a limited time. Asking questions throughout the day is encouraged!
What is Creative Coding?
Creative coding is the art of expressing oneself through the medium of computation. Creative coders often use tools like Processing, OpenFrameworks, Cinder, etc.
Who is this event for?
Artists (New Media or otherwise), technologists, designers, makers, and code enthusiasts of all kinds. If you are creative and like a bit of challenge, this one is for you.
What this event is not.
The Creative Code Jam is not a lesson, a contest or a conference.
What should I bring?
Bring your computer or other computational weapon of choice. Interesting books for inspiration, fancy hardware, quirky materials and snacks to share are also always a good idea :)

Global Game Jam is an international hands-on Game Festival which takes place in over 450 cities world wide on just one weekend. The participants will produce experimental computer games which will be uploaded to the main GGJ website at the end of the weekend. From there everyone can download and play the games.
Global Game Jam is a wonderful opportunity for participants to expand their horizons, challenge themselves, and meet new people. Right away you will start developing a playable game with strangers who share the same passion as you in just two days. At the end you are tired but happy.
Global Game Jam Berlin is open to everyone who wants to create digital games, board games or physical games in 48 hours.
A ticket is required to participate to the event. Presentations on Sunday at 5pm are free to attend and open to everyone, but a registration is required.
