In a notary session today, Italian Davide Maria Emanuel Cocchiara and Giovanni Cocchiara have officially founded their indie game studio Abduct Media in Nuremberg, Bavaria. Their in-development game Interdimensional Mailmen for the Meta Quest 2/3 and the PSVR had recently been granted 20,000 Euros in concept funding from the FFF Bayern.
The computer scientist brothers moved to Germany for their studio funding because of the funding possibilities in Germany and Bavaria, they told GamesMarkt. Nuremberg and the Franconian area they chose especially for the networking opportunities, with the coworking space provided by Pixel Maniacs there and events like the Indie Outpost and in the area.
Pixel Maniac’s CEO Benjamin Lochmann had been part of the notary appointment as a translator for the studio founding. His company is providing said co-working space. Abduct Media has taken residence in there and have already hired their first employee, Hannah Mae M., a 3D Artist from Munich.
