In 2018 the Animated Games Award Germany goes into the second round. Introduced in 2016 as an regional award, now for the second time the prize is awarded to the German computer game which stands out from competition by its special visual design and aesthetics. The jury pays particular attention to artwork, imagery, and character design.
The award’s objective is to strengthen the interlinking of games and animated film as regards content, as well as promote the artistic quality of games.
