We flew to San Francisco to show Ganbatte during GDC 2018. Join us on this first ever Mimicry travel vlog!

Ganbatte was selected for the European Game Showcase 2018 (EGS), which happened during the Game Developers Conference 2018 at Pier 17 in San Francisco. At EGS we showcased a pre-release version of our upcoming VR game about cats in space, eating sushi, to a select audience of press, publishers, and investors. We attended a ton of game and VR related events, such as the High Fidelity GDC 2018 reception where we got to try out the NeoSensory 'exoskin’ Haptic Jacket, the Facebook gaming x Oculus party and the Microsoft windows mixed reality reception, to name a few. We also had the pleasure of visiting SVVR, Silicon Valley Virtual Reality meetup, where we pitched the game and demoed it as well. It was a very successful trip and we hope you enjoy watching this recollection of it.

We're getting ready to release the first version of Ganbatte on Steam Early Access this month (April 2018) which has support for both Oculus Rift and HTC Vive VR headsets. We can't wait for you to give it a go!
