About the Project

This is an independent project, not affiliated with any association, publisher, or funding body.

This is a curated, independent database of german games-industry data covering funding records from federal and state programs, Creative Europe MEDIA funding, companies, and individual games.

Where does the data come from?

All information in the database comes from publicly available online sources (websites of funding organizations, SteamDB, news-sites, etc.). Most of it was gathered and structured manually out of my personal interest. I cannot guarantee accuracy.

How often is it updated?

I try to update it once a month, so new funding information is not immediately available. Please keep in mind that I do this in my free time, so lower your expectations. Date of the last update is available on the Changelog.

Data Coverage

This database does not aim to be exhaustive. It is a curated, evolving project with a focus on data quality, consistency, and contextual relevance.

Currently included:

• publicly announced games and studios within the German games industry (and some Austrian and Swiss games)
• funding information from publicly accessible sources
• basic company and project relationships, where they can be reliably established

Some data categories are still under active review and not yet publicly available.

What are you using to display the data?

I am using Observable Framework!
Observable framework is an open-source static site generator designed for building interactive data applications, dashboards, and visualizations.
Personally I am mostly working in Excel and Obsidian to display, search and work on all the data I have.

I found an error! / I want you to add something!

Since I did most of this thing manually there will be errors - I'm only human. I welcome any information about errors, additions, or missing data, please see Report.

I love your work! Let's talk!

Please reach out to me at contact@vronis-games-database.de if you have any specific topic to talk about.
