  Gamescom (17\-21 Awst) yw’r ffair fwyaf yn Ewrop ar gyfer gemau ac adloniant rhyngweithiol, a bydd Eiry Thomas, a sefydlodd The Flitlits Ltd., yn cael cyfle ar Ddiwrnod Trwyddedu ‒ y diwrnod masnachu ar gyfer trwyddedu a datblygu gemau ‒ i hyrwyddo’i chynhyrchion gerbron darpar fuddsoddwyr, cyhoeddwyr a dalwyr trwyddedau cysyniadau. 

Bydd hefyd yn arddangos ochr yn ochr ag Ukie ‒ y corff masnachu ar gyfer y diwydiant gemau ac adloniant rhyngweithiol yn y DU ‒ a thîm diwydiannau creadigol Llywodraeth Cymru. 

Cafodd Eiry gymorth o Gronfa Datblygu Digidol Llywodraeth Cymru i greu cyfres o apiau rhyngweithiol dwyieithog sy’n seiliedig ar anturiaethau The Flitlits /Y Sbridion ‒ sef cymeriadau a greodd er mwyn helpu i wella sgiliau llythrennedd pobl ifanc.

Dywedodd: 


> “Dw i’n hynod falch imi gael fy newis, drwy gystadleuaeth ryngwladol, i hyrwyddo fy nwyddau yn Gamescom. Bydda i’n siŵr o fynd ati i dynnu sylw at Gymru. Mae’n gyfle anhygoel imi gael mynd ati gerbron cynulleidfa ryngwladol i gyflwyno’r Flitlits, yr apiau a’r bwrdd, y gemau digidol a’r gemau ar gyfer yr ystafell ddosbarth dw i wrthi'n eu datblygu.
> 
> “Dw i wedi treulio sawl blwyddyn yn ymchwilio i’r cysyniad ac yn ei ddatblygu, ac mae’r cyfle hwn yn agor y drws at bartneriaethau posibl ac at y posibilrwydd o daro bargeinion trwyddedu a mynd â’r gwaith yn ei flaen i’r lefel nesaf. Dw i’n gobeithio y bydd fy syniadau’n cael sylw oherwydd dw i’n credu bod potensial aruthrol, ond mae dod i’r digwyddiad a chael gwneud cyflwyniad ynddo yn ddigon ynddo’i hun i helpu i sicrhau bod pobl yn adnabod y brand. Bydd hefyd yn gyfle i rwydweithio.”

Dyma’r tro cyntaf i Lywodraeth Cymru anfon dirprwyaeth o gwmnïau gemau a chyfryngau digidol i Gamescom – bydd lle penodol i’r cwmnïau ar y stondin, a byddant yn gallu manteisio ar gymorth oddi wrth gynrychiolwyr UKIE, a chael cymorth gyda’u costau teithio.  

Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Economi, Ken Skates: 


> “Mae’r diwydiannau creadigol yn un o sectorau allweddol economi Cymru ac mae gennym nifer o gwmnïau technegol clyfar iawn sy’n gwneud eu marc ym maes gemau ac adloniant. Byddwn yn mynd ati yn Gamescom i hyrwyddo’r arbenigedd sydd gennym yma yng Nghymru ac ’all y ffaith bod cwmni Eiry Thomas wedi cael ei ddewis ond helpu i roi proffil uwch inni yn y digwyddiad rhyngwladol hwn.”

Mae’r apiau, a gafodd eu lansio gan Apple, ar gael yn Gymraeg, Saesneg a Saesneg UDA a byddai modd eu cyfieithu a’u haddasu ar gyfer ieithoedd a gwledydd eraill. Mae India a Tsiena wedi dechrau dangos diddordeb eisoes ac yn UDA, maent wedi’u hardystio ar gyfer y cwricwlwm ysgolion. Dyfarnodd y grŵp US Teachers with Apps Wobr yr Apiau Enghreifftiol Gorau iddynt.  

Maent yn rhan o becyn amlgyfrwng unigryw y mae Eiry wedi’i ddatblygu sy’n cynnwys cyfres o lyfrau printiedig ac e\-lyfrau, gwefannau rhyngweithiol ac adnoddau ar gyfer yr ystafell ddosbarth a gemau addysgol.

Ymhlith rhai o’r cwmnïau o Gymru sy’n rhan o ddirprwyaeth fasnach Llywodraeth Cymru y mae Toxic Games o Gwmbrân, Vision Games Lab o Borth\-cawl, Wales Interactive o Ben\-coed, a West Coast Software o Aberystwyth.

Gamescom (August 17\-21\) is Europe’s biggest trade fair for interactive games and entertainment and Eiry Thomas, founder of The Flitlits Ltd., will be given the chance to pitch her products to potential investors, publishers and concept licensees on License Day – the trade day for licensing and games development.

She will also be exhibiting alongside Ukie \- the trade body for the UK's games and interactive entertainment industry \- and the Welsh Government’s creative industry team. 

Eiry had support from the Welsh Government’s Digital Development Fund to create a series of bilingual interactive apps based on the  adventures of The Flitlits /Y Sbridion \- characters she created to help improve literacy skills in youngsters.

She said: 


> “I am delighted to have been selected through an international competition to pitch at Gamescom and will be flying the flag for Wales. It does present an amazing opportunity to introduce the concept of the Flitlits, the apps and a board, digital and classroom based games I am developing, to an international trade audience.
> 
> “I  have spent several years in researching and developing the concept  and this opens the doors to potential collaborative partnerships and licensing deals with the potential to take it to the next level. I hope my ideas will be picked up as I believe there is massive potential although even presenting and attending the event will help build brand recognition and provide networking opportunities.”

It is the first time the Welsh Government is sending a delegation of games and digital media companies to Gamescom – the companies will benefit from dedicated stand space, support from UKIE representatives and supported travel costs.

Economy Cabinet Secretary Ken Skates said: 


> “Creative industries is a key sector of the Welsh economy and we have a number of very clever technology businesses making their mark in the games and entertainment fields. We will be promoting Welsh expertise at Gamescom and the selection of Eiry Thomas’ company can only help raise our profile at this international event.”

The apps, which were launched by Apple, are available in Welsh, English and U.S. English and could be translated and adapted for other languages and countries. There has already been initial interest from India and China while in the US they are certified for the school curriculum and won the Best Exemplar Apps Award from the US Teachers with Apps group.

They form part of a unique multi\-modal package Eiry has developed that includes a series of print and e\-books, interactive websites and classroom resources and educational games.

Welsh companies participating in the Welsh Government trade delegation include: Deceptive Games from Abercynon, Toxic Games from Cwmbran, Vision Games Lab from Porthcawl, Wales Interactive from Pencoed, and West Coast Software from Aberystwyth.
