Film- und Medienstiftung NRW Funds Nine Games With Almost 600,000 Euros

At its second meeting of the year, the Film- und Medienstiftung NRW (Film and Media Foundation of North Rhine-Westphalia) granted funding of 589,000 Euros to nine games. Two projects in production, five prototypes and two concepts were funded.

Nine games are being funded by the Film- und Medienstiftung NRW, including Pen & Paper Stories: Morriton Manor, a game adaptation of a Rocket Beans TV format. The strategy and management game Breaking News puts players in the role of a newspaper editor. In Potato Punk, magical potatoes spark a technological revolution. Kudrun is based on Incubation - Battle Isle Phase Four from 1997.

Walid Nakschbandi, Managing Director of the Film- und Medienstiftung NRW, sums it up: "The Film- und Medienstiftung is and will remain a committed supporter of gamers and the games industry."
