Codecks Secures €1M Funding, Including €700K EU Grant, to Drive Growth in Game Development PM

BERLIN - Nov. 27, 2024 - PRLog -- Berlin, Germany — Codecks, the Berlin-based project management tool purpose-built for game developers, has been awarded a €700.000 grant from the European Union's Creative Europe MEDIA program, reaching €1 million in investment with an extra 300.000 invested by the company itself. This EU funding, part of the "Innovative Tools and Business Models" initiative, is intended to foster competitiveness, sustainability, and advanced digital tools across Europe's creative industries.

Since its founding in 2019, Codecks has reimagined project management through a playful, game-inspired interface that resonates with developers worldwide. The platform's unique Cards and Decks system, user-friendly community integration, and other collaborative features have made it an essential tool for over 60,000 users, including industry leaders like Unity, GRAVITY,  Warpfrog, Free Lives and more. This significant investment will enable Codecks to expand its capabilities, introducing new features and enhancing existing ones to make project management both engaging and efficient for development teams of all sizes.

What This Means for Codecks' Community and the Future of Game Development Worldwide

The funds will fuel team expansion, enhance Codecks' infrastructure, and refine the user experience with more adaptable, scalable solutions–such as the Vision Board, which will offer users, at a glance, the overall stage of development of their game, inspired by skill trees.

With a growing global community, Codecks is set to support an increasing number of teams as they navigate the creative and logistical challenges of game development.

Continuing the Mission: A Playful Approach to Project Management

Despite rapid growth and this grant, Codecks remains a bootstrapped, independent company committed to its original vision. "We developed Codecks as a love letter to the game development community," says co-founder and Lead Developer Daniel Berndt. "With this grant, we're empowered to make that vision even bigger, with features that make Codecks more valuable for every team member—whatever their project, wherever they are in the world."
