The next session of Tech-Tonic for Game Dev features an exceptional protagonist of the international scene: Aleksandar Gavrilović, Managing Director of Gamechuck and organizer of the Summer Eternal project.

The Talk

Summer Eternal made waves a year ago when former Disco Elysium developers announced a revolutionary new structure – a studio owned not only by founders and investors but by workers, freelancers and even players. We took the quote “every worker – member of the board” and took it to the next step – “every player – member of the board”. And now, after one year, this lecture will go through how we’ve set this all up and how things have been working out for us – lessons learned and steps for the future.

The Speaker
Aleksandar Gavrilović is the organiser of Summer Eternal. He has been the general secretary for the Croatian Game Developers from 2021 to 2025 and a managing director of Gamechuck since 2019. In Gamechuck he organised the signing of the first collective agreement in regional game development, and now in Summer Eternal is organising former Disco Elysium developers who are focused on creating a cooperative model that will make sure that creatives always hold the reigns of their own creation.
