We’re thrilled to share that we’re going to attend Develop:Brighton this month and that both Khevna and Hervé have been shortlisted for the Game Dev Heroes awards!
Alvera Studios at Develop:Brighton
We’re excited to be at Develop:Brighton to meet fellow devs and talk about internal projects, funding, production, and everything in between. It’s also a great occasion to come and talk with us in person about the services we offer in Game Design, Technical Design, Leadership, and Curriculum Development. We’re already working with a few studios, but we still have slots open for later this year.

Game Dev Heroes Awards
We’re very happy to share that Khevna and Hervé have been nominated and shortlisted for the Game Dev Heroes awards which celebrate the “unsung heroes” of the video game industry.
Khevna has been shortlisted for the Leadership award:
Thank you to those who nominated me and to everyone who was part of my leadership journey. I wouldn’t be here without you all! I chose to become a leader because of the joy I experience in seeing others succeed. There’s no greater win than when you’ve supported a team, removed obstacles in their way, guided them in a direction, and watched their best work come to life.

Hervé has been shortlisted for the Game Design award:
I’m very grateful for Game Dev Heroes for highlighting the people working hard to create our favourite games, and for shortlisting me in the Game Design category! I’ve been lucky to work with amazing people during these past 20+ years. And I’m even more lucky that some of them decided to nominate me, thank you! Those who know me know how dedicated I am to continue to improve my skills as a game designer, and sharing my experience with my others, so I couldn’t be more honored for this recognition.
