This past week we at SOEDESCO have been to Gamescom 2022!
This year we were only in the B2B area of the event, but we were still able to show our games to other developers and industry insiders. The business area is still important for the press, influencers and other media to check out our company!
Next year we hope to bring Soedesco to the customer-facing side of Gamescom as well😊
Here are some of the photos from the event:
Please make sure to check our YouTube channel for the “after movie” of Gamescom 2022!

The Inception of Petit Island 💭 - Devlog #1
Hey everyone!
Welcome to the first devlog of Petit Island! My name is Marten, I'm Community Manager for SOEDESCO, publisher for the game. I'm joined by Irfan today, Game Director of Petit Island, to talk about how the Petit Island came into existence!
So Irfan, how did Petit Island start out?
"Thanks Marten! My name is Irfan, I'm a Game Director of Petit island. There are two things I love the most, making games and travelling. As a game developer and a backpacker, it’s a dream to make game base on my personal experience. Backpacking to new places, meeting strangers, discovering new things, getting scammed, making new friends, and many more. Lily the main character, is a new backpacker who will visit one of the most beautiful tropical islands with her own mission to help her lovely grandpaw. She will have an unforgettable adventure on Petit island!"
So what about this main character we've seen, Lily? How did she she come to life?
"It starts with 10 characters we made. To be honest, it was really hard to choose between those ten. So I decided: why not ask the community to vote for the main character?"
The image that was posted on Reddit for the community to vote on
"Then, the small cat came out as the winner and I named her “Lily”, because that's my wife's name!"
