FreeFall

Freefall is a first-person sky surfing simulator – an arcade machine giving anyone a chance to try sky surfing. The entire game is 3D in a firstperson view, to give the player a feeling that she actually is falling, and give her the adrenalin rush that a real sky surfer gets. The adrenalin is key, so grab the board and throw yourself out in the air and stunt like never before.

GameRider

GameRider is a bike simulation game constructed in three weeks by a small group as a side project during a level design class at HGO’s GAME education. The engine used is Valve’s Source Engine and the level was built from scratch in Hammer, the Source Engine’s level editing tool.

In the months since its completion, it’s been on display at the Technical Museum, Stockholm’s Culture House, on Swedish Television, GGA (where it won the best serious game award) and just recently at the Almedal’s Week where it was on display for Sweden’s most important politicians.

GameRider was awarded “Best Serious Game” at Gotland Game Awards 2008.

The story centres around a deep sea diver, stranded on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. You must guide him safely back to the surface, using the onboard comlink. Following along through the divers camera, you’ll both be making a disturbing exploration of the seabed…

Deep Ocean was awarded “Best Arcade Game” at Gotland Game Awards 2008.
