On Thursday, 22 March 2017 Goethe-Institut Indonesien invites partners, friends and all the fans of Germany and video games to its branch in Bandung.
With JERMANIA, Goethe-Institut Indonesien is now publishing an Educational Game for young Indonesians who are interested in Germany's language and culture. The learning game was developed by Studio Nightspade in Bandung and leads the players to virtual city tours through Berlin, Dresden, Freiburg, Cologne and Stuttgart. Here, Germany becomes visible in all its regional diversity and its cultural characteristics. Players can cut currywurst in Berlin and visit the Brandenburger Tor, while in Cologne, Halve Hahn and carnival celebrating folks can be discovered. The whole thing is accompanied by a wonderful Japanese-RPG-style soundtrack that was uniquely designed for the game.
Mini games additionally contain small language learning elements on A1 level. If the players are interested in German language and would like to know more about learning German, embedded links will guide them to the website of the Goethe-Institut and the german learning portal
Deutsch für Dich.
JERMANIA is the product of collaboration between Indonesian and German video game developers that was organized by Goethe Institut Indonesien.
Nightspade was supported by the German studios
kunst-stoff and
the Good Evil. The project was financed by the Federal Foreign Office of the Federal Republic of Germany from special funds for the creative industries.
The game will be available for free download in Indonesia from 22 March 2017 on Google Play and the Apple App Store.
During today's event, we will present JERMANIA with all its details and give all visitors the opportunity to download the game directly to their smartphone or tablet.
