Building Connections: Our Industry Event Journey

At Melo Interactive, we believe that great games are built through great relationships. In 2025, we hit the road—connecting with partners, industry leaders, and fellow developers across three countries.

Gamescom - Cologne, Germany

August 16-24, 2025

Our event journey began at Gamescom, the world's largest gaming convention held annually in Cologne, Germany. Yann Melo traveled solo to experience the event firsthand.

Gamescom brought together hundreds of thousands of gaming enthusiasts and industry professionals from around the world. Walking through the massive exhibition halls, it was clear why this event is considered the heartbeat of the global gaming industry.

The week was filled with:

• Industry networking with developers and publishers
• Exploring cutting-edge games and technologies
• Understanding global gaming trends and player preferences
• Building connections that would prove valuable in the months ahead

A Partnership Dinner in London

August 28, 2025

Fresh from Gamescom, Yann headed to London for a special partnership dinner at Hélène Darroze at The Connaught—a first-time experience at this renowned two-Michelin-starred restaurant.

The trip brought together key members of the Melo ecosystem: Christos Grivas, our COO, and Alphirex, owner of Holy War X and co-development partner on Reaping. Over an exceptional meal, the team discussed the future of their partnerships and the exciting projects ahead.

These face-to-face conversations are invaluable; they strengthen bonds that no video call can replicate. The dinner reinforced our commitment to the dev-ops partnership model and set the stage for deeper collaboration on upcoming projects including Reaping and Holy War X.

RDC 2025 - Roblox Developers Conference

September 5-6, 2025

The highlight of our event tour was RDC 2025 in San Francisco. The experience exceeded all expectations.

RDC is where the Roblox community comes together—developers, creators, and Roblox staff sharing insights, announcements, and building connections that shape the platform's future.

The RDC Experience

RDC offered incredible opportunities:

• Exclusive platform announcements from Roblox leadership
• Developer workshops on new features and best practices
• Community celebrations recognizing top creators
• Networking with industry leaders and fellow developers
• Inspiration from developers pushing boundaries

The connections made at RDC directly influenced our partnership strategies moving forward.

Looking Ahead: GDC and Beyond

Our event journey is just beginning. We're planning to attend GDC (Game Developers Conference) and other major industry events to continue building connections and strengthening our presence in the gaming community.

The relationships built at Gamescom, in London, and at RDC have already proven their value through our expanding partnership network. We're excited to see where the next events take us.
