I first spoke at the Gotland games program (now “Uppsala University campus Gotland”) back in 2010 and then again in 2011. The faculty and students are all warm, thoughtful, and talented folks and I’m really looking forward to spending some time in Visby again this year.

Development Hell at the Swedish Game Awards 2017

We’re still busy publishing content from the Gotland Game Conference so this post will be brief: the The Swedish Game Awards took place in Visby this weekend and it was a blast!

The SGA is a national competition for all game educations, and this year our students took home no less than three awards!

Congratulation and well played to all the teams! And to everyone; enjoy the summer break. We’ll see you back on campus in august.

GGC 2017, Day 2

The second day of the Gotland Game Conference is split in two; with the first part being another day of games and insightful lectures, and the second part being the epic award ceremony and party in the evening. To avoid completely swamping this post, we’re putting only a few photos here and sharing the full set on Facebook. There’s also a lot of activity on the Instagram tag – #GGConf2017.

Recordings of all the talks will be available on our YouTube-channel later this summer, but you don’t need to wait to see the Award Ceremony – just keep scrolling. 🙂
