Build your game
The residency includes free room and board as well as travel expenses to bring together a balanced group of local and international indie game developers. During the one-month residency, the game developers will work on the game of their dreams. We are looking for developers who build compelling and exciting games!
During the 4 weeks at Coconat, each team advances their game vision and prepares for a short presentation to publishers.
The main building offers a shared game-making lab with its large salon. Experts are invited to accompany the fellows. The program includes workshops, team building, game testing, inspiring excursions and much more. An exciting time in a community of 15 game developers!

Dr. rer. pol. Meike Eitel
Dedicated to digital and visual communication for nearly 25 years.
Starting in the 90s she finished her studies in visual communications. In the times of “everything is possible in digital business – the late 90ies – she was a part of the creative development at ID Media AG, where platforms such as “cycosmos” tried to find its way to the masses.
In the immediate vicinity of enthusiatic gamers, she finds herself playing, and follows with interest the design and development of computer games from early versions of “lefty Larry’s”, “Quake” and “Siberia” to the pedagogical valuable storytelling of today’s “it takes two”. She is honored to be part of the jury and can’t wait to see the ideas and applications.
