There are few better ways to conclude a year for a developer: Today, Daedalic Entertainment has been awarded the title as ‘Best Studio’ during the German Developer Awards. The team of 'Goodbye Deponia', Daedalic's most recent title, also has every reason to be happy as they were awarded prizes for 'Best Adventure', 'Best Sound', and 'Best Story'.
"To be honored with these awards proves, that Daedalic Entertainment is heading into the right direction and that we have established ourselves as an important player within the German games industry.", says Carsten Fichtelmann, Daedalic Entertainment's CEO, happy about the recent accomplishment. "The award 'Best Studio', means that a company's whole portfolio and the corresponding achievements are being honored. This honor concludes a very successful year for us, with many big releases under our belts, like 'The Night of the Rabbit', 'The Dark Eye: Memoria' and, of course, 'Goodbye Deponia."
As the first studio ever, the developer from Hamburg receives the probably most important prize of the German Developer Awards for a second time. Previous winners include, among others, Yager, Crytek and Blue Byte.
The winners are elected annually by a jury, as well as by industry representatives, thus making the German Developer Award one of the most coveted awards of the German games industry.
Daedalic Entertainment, having received many awards since the companies’ founding six years ago, is among the most renowned developers of adventure games world-wide and employs a staff of more than 100 people in their Hamburg-based studios. Their most recent title, Goodbye Deponia, is the closure to the successful Deponia-Series and one of the genre's biggest hits of the last couple of years. With Blackguards, which recently launched on Steam's Early Access, the developers now also tread on the new ground of turn-based RPGs.
