Hello GDCy People!

We wanted to remind you that today we will have our first ever GDCy ONLINE TALKS with REVERA and Futura Digital - PVP in Game Development — Protecting the Studio from Former Partners and Employees.

More details about what the guys will discuss you can find in original post - https://t.me/GDCyprus/476

Join us today at 16:00 on YouTube

Hope you'll enjoy it!

Hello GDCy People!

We, together with our friends from GDEV want to launch a small survey:
Do games industry professionals trade stocks?

There are a lot of public game companies that list their shares on stock exchanges and pay dividends. But how actively do games industry professionals participate in this process? To answer this question, our colleagues decided to conduct a study.

Any research involves conducting a survey to obtain data. With the help of you, the audience, we will be able to find out how deeply games developers and other professionals are involved in the stock market.

Here is the survey we invite you to take part in. It will take just around five minutes to complete. The survey is being run from November 28 to December 28. We will publicly share its results in the form of a study in January.

Link to survey - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfX7ldn7mNNbdcdVqJh4bxQKHRkCjHEHV-j9IGoOGaG6QOZzw/viewform?usp=send_form

-----------------------------------------------------
Покупают ли акции разработчики игр?
Многие игровые компании сегодня являются публичными. Их акциями торгуют, с их ценных бумаг получают дивиденды. Но насколько активное участие в этом принимают сами сотрудники игровых компаний?

Любое исследование предполагает проведение опроса для получения данных. Отталкиваясь от них наши коллеги смогут понять, насколько непосредственно игровые специалисты вовлечены в игру на бирже. Как раз в этом опросе мы и предлагаем принять участие. Его прохождение займет не больше пяти минут.

Опрос будет проводится до конца декабря. Его результаты в формате исследования мы опубликуем в январе.

Привет, ребята! 👋

Недавно поймал себя на том, что Телеграм превращается в бесконечный поток контента, а времени у меня, как у всех, маловато. Подписан на кучу крутых каналов, но читать всё подряд? Ну такое… Полезного мне — процентов 20, максимум.

Решил эту боль по-своему: сделал бота. 📲 Теперь я просто закидываю в него свои подписки на каналы (не чаты), и он превращает этот хаос в удобную ленту. А еще бот саммари делает! Представьте, всю информацию дня — в коротком дайджесте, и по темам. Хочешь — отключай посты, оставляй только саммари, и становится сильно меньше уведомлений.

Меня прям спасает. Может, и вам пригодится. Заодно фидбек оставьте, буду рад!

Буду рад, если зацените! 😊

ну вот, никакой свободы действий инфлюенсерам с инвесторами

Понятно, до свидания :)

SAFE: Definition and Key Terms

Hello GDCy People!

We want to share a guide on the SAFE agreement from the lawyers at REVERA.
This agreement is commonly used, but as the lawyers themselves say, not all parties fully understand all its possibilities. At first glance, a SAFE may appear simple, but this is not entirely the case.

This guide clearly and thoroughly outlines the structure, terms for the parties, options for making amendments, and more.

If you have any questions after reading, the lawyers at REVERA will help you find the answers.
