BOGOR - The name SMKN 1 Ciomas will sound good in Cologne, Germany. There, Game Developer "Ginvo Studio" created by alumni of SMKN 1 Ciomas was chosen by Kemenparekraf to represent Indonesia in the 2020 Gamescom agenda on 27-30 August.

Unfortunately, they canceled their departure for Germany. All the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic that are still not over in all parts of the world. Gamescom 2020 is one of the biggest annual game events to be held.

Bringing more than 300,000 visitors every year. However, due to Covid-19, this year Gamescom 2020 is also being held online.

Knowing that there are citizens who excel at the international level like this, this clearly makes Bogor Regent Ade Yasin bungah. He also invited developers to the Regent's office on Wednesday, July 15. Those invited were Ibn Royyim Abdul, Sayyid Hasaab Alfath and Ibn Harun. Present to accompany Kadisbudpar Mulyadi, and Januar as accompanying teachers.

"I support these millennial children to participate in the 2020 Gamescom international event in Germany, good luck," said Ade Yasin firmly.

"So we are a game developer from Bogor formed by students of SMKN 1 Ciomas who has been running for about five years. We focus on developing mobile games," said Ginvo Studio CEO, Ibnu Royyim.

"We thank you for the support given by the Regent of Bogor, pray for us to be successful in the Gamescom event representing Indonesia," said Ibnu added.

For those who don't know what Ginvo Studio is, we will give a little leak. Please look at Google Play and the Apps Store for the games they have created. Among them, Former Marriage, Kids Age Now Games, Qubics: Spin & Jump.

Gamescom 2020 will be held in conjunction with a companion B2B sub-event. Reported from the official website of the Bogor Regency Government, Devcom Digital Conference (DDC) 2020. DDC 2020 is a conference for game industry players that is held online. This event is not only a place to share knowledge and seek new opportunities in the game industry, but also a hub for game developer communities around the world to gather.

This year, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf) is collaborating with the Indonesian Game Association (AGI) to facilitate selected game companies in Indonesia to take part in DDC 2020. They will have the opportunity to gain knowledge by participating in various classes available, exhibiting their work in the virtual booth of the Indonesian Pavilion, as well as finding new opportunities and partners through Business Matchmaking.
