Mooneye Studios

In 2016, Mooneye Studios’ Lost Ember took second place in the Best Newcomer Concept category at the German Computer Game Awards. Four years later, it has evolved into a remarkable and innovative debut title that not only receives outstanding user ratings on Steam but also demonstrates that a modern development studio must be just as proficient in communicating with and managing the community as it is in using the development tools needed to create a game. The jury is impressed by the tenacity the founders demonstrated in nurturing their idea over so many years into a finished game, while keeping the community closely involved in the project through Kickstarter, dev blogs, and other initiatives. In the jury’s opinion, Mooneye Studios has laid the groundwork for a long and successful company history with this remarkable debut.
