Galaxy Racer (GXR), the largest esports, gaming and lifestyle organisation in the world, has announced its foray into gaming by sponsoring Rogue Jam, a brand-new indie game jam competition. This marks Galaxy Racer as the first esports organization to get into gaming. Galaxy Racer’s branding will be visible throughout Rogue Jam’s marketing campaigns including post-event coverage.

IGN and Rogue Games are partnering to produce Rogue Jam, a brand-new game jam that’s offering exclusive development deals along with US$800,000 in total prizes to competing indie game developers.

Galaxy Racer (GXR) was founded in 2019 and is the largest esports, gaming and lifestyle organizations in the world, with over 100 content creators across Middle East North Africa (MENA) and Southeast Asia (SEA), amassing over 500 million followers and generating over 2.5 billion monthly views.

Founder and CEO of Galaxy Racer, Paul Roy, said: “We’re delighted to support Rogue Jam, an awesome initiative by Rogue Games to uncover the next generation of indie game developers. Galaxy Racer believes in supporting the gaming community and Rogue Games are certainly on point with this competition and are making waves in the industry, including their recent ground-breaking partnership developing games for Netflix.”

Founder and CEO of Rogue Games, Matt Casamassina, said: “We’re thrilled to have Galaxy Racer come onboard as our gold sponsor for Rogue Jam. They are the first esports organization to enter gaming by having skin in the game. With their growing presence in the esports and gaming ecosystem, we are confident their support will have a positive impact to our community.”

Submissions will be accepted between November 29 and December 31 at Rogue Jam’s homepage roguejam.com , with finalists being showcased in a show produced by IGN in early 2022. The grand prize winner will win US$500,000 to develop their game as well as an exclusive Rogue Games publishing deal.

The competition will feature several other categories, including a “WTF” prize for Rogue Jam’s weirdest and wildest game, and an “Eye-Poppingly Beautiful” award for the most attractive game of the competition.

Both categories will offer prizes of US$100,000 along with a publishing deal with Rogue. Smaller prizes of US$50,000 plus a Rogue right of first refusal deal will be offered for “Huge Potential” and “Audience Choice” winners.

Judges for the event will include several well-known figures from across the games industry, including IGN Executive Vice President and Chief Content Officer Peer Schneider and former Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimé. Complete list of judges below:

  • Kimberly Pointer Corbett, Warner Bros. Games Senior Vice President of Digital Publishing
  • Reggie Fils-Aimé, former Nintendo of America President, Board Advisor at Rogue Games
  • Peer Schneider, IGN Executive Vice President and Chief Content Officer
  • Chris Lee, Netflix Head of Game Sourcing and Interactive Games
  • Matt Casamassina, Rogue Games CEO
  • Chris Archer, Rogue Games Chief Strategy Officer

Rogue Games was founded by Casamassina, who served at IGN until his departure in 2010. Earlier this year, Rogue Games raised US$2.5 million in funding to publish “batsh*t insane” indie games for PC, consoles, and mobile games.

The list of games Rogue currently has in development includes Super Impossible Road, a spiritual sequel to Impossible Road released on Nintendo Switch on December 9, to be followed by a first quarter launch on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Rogue is also publishing Arcanium, an “open-world single-player strategy card adventures,” and Sprawl, a retro FPS. In addition, Rogue Games recently announced that it is partnering with Bloober Team on an unannounced project.

The Rogue Jam submission portal opened November 29, and submissions will be accepted until December 31. Submissions must be playable in order to be considered.

Meridianbet, a member of the Golden Matrix Group (NASDAQ: GMGI), in partnership with Meridianbet Foundation, Expanse Studios, and BC Crvena zvezda Meridianbet announces the launch of a significant humanitarian initiative, ‘Scan. Help.’, aimed at supporting maternity hospitals across Southeast Europe.

The rollout of this action to other market territories is expected in the remainder of 2024.

How It Works

For every scanned QR code and subsequent registration on the Meridian Foundation’s website, funds will be allocated towards equipping five maternity hospitals in Serbia. This innovative approach not only raises awareness but also actively involves the community in our CSR activities.

The initiative is currently ongoing with high media presence and is broadcasted during Southeast Europe’s regional basketball Finals series (ABA League). BC Red Star players wear jerseys featuring the QR code, with additional promotion through basketball arena ads, TV ads, and more, encouraging fans and supporters to participate.

A Unified Effort for Community Impact

The ‘Scan. Help.’ campaign is a collaborative effort involving Meridianbet, Meridianbet foundation, Expanse Studios, and basketball club Crvena zvezda Meridianbet, Southeast Europe’s leading basketball club, of which Meridianbet is the name sponsor. The initiative is designed to leverage our collective resources and influence to make a meaningful impact on local communities.

Multi-Stakeholder Support and Growing Participation

The ‘Scan. Help.’ campaign has received institutional support ad backing from the Ministry of Health, reinforcing the importance and legitimacy of this cause. Additionally, several companies have already expressed their desire to contribute, with provisions made for donations through the Meridian Foundation’s account. This broadening support network amplifies the initiative’s reach and potential impact.

This campaign exemplifies Meridianbet’s dedication to sustainable development and community well-being. In 2023 alone, the company has launched 225 CSR campaigns, reflecting the commitment to making a lasting impact.
