Apologies for this everyone. But the last few months have been crazy (in a good way) and we have lots of updates coming to the public over the next few months. But we've also been terrible (Especially me) at keeping up with our inbox. So I've also personally deleted my inbox July backwards 🙏

Pontus Mähler (AGP) @pontusmahler.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

Gamescom this year was an absolute blast for Agora Gaming Partners. We got to celebrate closing deal(s) & watch our current portfolio announce their titles during FGS and we got to scout some incredible titles for the future😎. Thank you to all of our friends, partners, clients & investments!

I'll be in Germany quite long this time! August 16th - 24th (Saturday - Sunday). My schedule is mostly pre-booked this year so I'm not very active on MTM as I normally am - But my colleagues are on @meettomatch.bsky.social I will probably get back to you very late on MTM as I'm booking outside.

Back in China after 8 years and my first ever China Joy was an absolute blast! It was great to meet local developers, chat with prospective partners and see the influx of Western publishers scouting locally. Time to prepare for gamescom & see you next time China! @agpadvisory.bsky.social

🎮 We’re heading to #ChinaJoy! Agora Gaming Partners will be in Shanghai with Lili Zhang, Tidus Wong & @pontusmahler.bsky.social Let’s talk publishing, funding, or your pitch. Can’t attend? Send your game to 📩 scouting@agoragamingpartners.com #gamedev #indiedev #gamebusiness

🎮 Agora Gaming Partners is heading to ChinaJoy!

We’ll be in Shanghai for one of the largest and most influential games industry events in Asia - and we’re bringing a full team:
👉 Lili Zhang
👉 Tidus Wong
👉 Pontus Mahler

We’ll be on the ground for the full duration of the event - so if you're working on something and want to connect, drop us a message, tag us, or book a time to chat. Whether you're looking for publishing, funding, or feedback, we're happy to talk.

We’re genuinely excited to be back. The Chinese game development scene continues to impress - full of creative talent, growing support, and global ambition.

The Chinese market remains impossible to ignore. Steam’s largest language group is now Chinese, reflecting the explosive growth of the local player base. PC gaming spend has surged by 60% year-on-year, and China now accounts for nearly 30% of global gaming revenues. On top of that, government support is ramping up again - with approval processes back on track and public funding flowing into the ecosystem.

Not attending but still want to share your game or pitch?
📩 You can always reach us at scouting@agoragamingpartners.com

See you in Shanghai 👋

I was able to visit Runes Studio in Caen, France to look at their upcoming games, chat to the team and see what they are working on. I may hve threatened to decapitate Paul if he didn't show me their next title. Mission success 😎Now - Onwards to Paris🙏. Keep an eye out for this amazing team!

Big love for France 🇫🇷 #Games, #studios, people, croissants – we’re all in! We’re joining ‪@gamecamp.fr , June 19-20 in Lille! @pontusmahler.bsky.social will speak on deals & funding trends. Let’s connect – or reach out: scouting@agoragamingpartners.com #IndieGames #IndieGameDevs #JeuxVideo

We’ve always had a soft spot for France
🎮 The games. 🧑‍💻 The studios. 🥖 The people. (And yes - the food and 🍷 wine, too)

Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of working with some incredible French developers, and we always look forward to any excuse to come back. That’s why we’re thrilled to join the 8th edition of GAME CAMP FRANCE, happening June 19-20, 2025 in hashtag#Lille - a true highlight of the European games industry calendar.

Pontus Maehler Mahler, our co-founder, will be speaking in two sessions:

🎤 Solo Talk - “Closing Deals in 2025”
What does it really take to get a publishing or investment deal done this year?
Pontus will break down what’s changed in 2025 - from investor expectations and shifting publisher terms to how to prepare your pitch and data room the right way. It's all about helping studios navigate today’s realities and land stronger, smarter deals.

💬 Panel - “Da VC Code: Decypher Funding in 2026”
Pontus will join Arturo Ivan C. (Managing Partner at Joystick Ventures) to explore the evolving funding landscape. From early-stage capital to long-term alignment, they’ll share thoughts on where things are heading - and what studios can do to stay ahead.

If you’re around, come say hi - we’re always up for talking shop over a croissant 🥐.
Not attending, but working on something cool?

At @agpadvisory.bsky.social, we've been fortunate to work with some incredible studios since our inception As a result of a few recent success stories, we now have capacity to support 1 or 2 new partners. If you're a studio looking to level up with a full 360° suite of support, let's talk 🤗.

Our playtesters at @agpadvisory.bsky.social Freya & Odin have been underperforming the last few weeks which is why we've been slow at our inbox. They mostly whine, scratch our gaming chairs and take naps (Sorry HR it had to be said). We'll 'TRY' to get back to all of you in the next 2 weeks. 🙏

It's not often I find a game that is worth going above and beyond but @expedition33.bsky.social has been an absolute incredible experience. Last time I felt this way was Elden Ring. I built an Excel just to maximize combos and synergies to crit 27.4m on a Petank 🤣. 10 Points to Sandfall Interactive

One of many awesome photos from the recent Reboot Develop. It was an absolute pleasure to attend and it was great catching up with everyone. Will see you again next year! Now it's time to review and reply to all the incredible games since my recent post - We're on it with @agpadvisory.bsky.social

Pontus Mähler (AGP) @pontusmahler.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

I guess I should book some meetings for Reboot and not go in fully blind. I'd love to take a look at games with a total production budget of $2-4M USD or lower. If you're looking to bridge the gap with additional financing. Send me an email and let's schedule something. 😍 @agpadvisory.bsky.social
