HANDYGAMES NEWSLETTER // APR22
APRIL 2022
Lines Written in Early Spring
Finally! Spring is around the corner, and with the first warm(er) days, one wants to pull out the BBQ grill, pull up the short pants, and …
Are you kidding me? It’s literally snowing right now here at the HandyGames HQ. F****reezing negative 1° Celsius! Well, at least one does not need to feel bad about staying inside, playing video games, and pretending to be somewhere nice. An island, maybe…
Speaking of islands: Do you have a VR Headset? If so, you might be in for a treat. Read our newsletter carefully – we might have a present for you!

Our new comrades-in-arms
HandyGames has a lot up its sleeves, and for that, we need competent employees for our current and ongoing (yet undisclosed) projects, as well as for the many other tasks in our ever-growing company.
A warm welcome to our three newcomers, whom we would like to introduce briefly: Marten Leckebusch and Sybran Aerts. We brought two programmers on board who will redirect their
superpowers into binary gems. Hendrik Bungert, on the other hand, will help us launch a new title as a game artist - but that‘s still highly confidential. We could tell you, but… 💀
Anyway, we welcome the three of them and are happy to have even more manpower to achieve our ambitious goals. Nice!
We are nominated again!
HandyGames remains in the headlines. We have been nominated twice for this year's Mobile Games Awards hosted by PocketGamer. Once our innovative singing game, One Hand Clapping, made it to the list of contenders, nominated for the Game of the Year. It not only convinced the jurors, but also our followers are still taken with the fresh game idea! The second nomination concerns us. We are listed in the Best Publishers category and are mighty proud of it!
Let's look forward to the award ceremony on April 5 in London. Keep your fingers crossed and be there when the big show starts at 06:30 PM (GMT +1)!

Our Job openingsNeed some time off on an island?
It's been a long way getting here, but it was definitely worth the wait. After the last major update that included more maps, more buildings, and more of basically everything, we upped the ante and fell into a dash short before the finishing line.
Now, with the final update and release, Townsmen VR even got a sandbox mode and is better than ever. A unique one-of-a-kind VR game that lets you control the fate of your settlers.
Build, crawl, explore, pet, pick, throw, and fight - it's time to get your hands dirty.
Get it now on STEAM, Oculus, or Viveport
Do you have a VR set at home?
Send us an email with your Steam Handle, and we will provide you with a free key! But you have to promise us to let your family and friends take a look at it.
Write us at marketing@handy-games.com
(subject: I want Townsmen VR) and tell us what you've got!
International women's day 2022
International Women's Day generally receives widespread attention worldwide. Rightfully so! What would we do without our ladies? Since we also pursue an open company policy and therefore have many women working for us, we naturally support any kind of equality. As is already written in stone in our company philosophy, no matter what gender a person is -
Everyone deserves acceptance, tolerance, and respect!
Keep your Country clean!
Environmental consciousness is getting increasingly important and should have been understood in every living room by now! If we want to make our world a better place, it is more important than ever to lend a hand and take responsibility. One has to earn the achievements ourselves - who the heck else is?
We at HandyGames believe that environmental protection is not only close to our hearts but also important for setting even the smallest course and breaking new ground. That's why we also look after our environment from time to time and pick up what others seem to have "forgotten". Armed with trash pickers, we were on the hunt for all sorts of litter and had fun doing it. You cannot imagine what you will find out there! o.O
New Store entries
Our successful titles "El Hijo - A Wild West Tale" and "Chicken Police - Paint it RED!" are reaching an even larger group of gamers!
