The TGC 2018 is to experience great modifications in this section of the event as fundamental as its name. The development awards is now called the Gamistan Awards. You’re going to hear “Gamistan” a lot in the future.
In addition to the alternation of the name of the event, this year welcomes game developers from countries from the western Asia, Southern Asia, as well as from northern Africa to attend the competition. We created a new region called “Gamistan” that includes all the countries in these regions. So this is where Gamistan has come from!
