PowerGamer.se: Velocity Interview

[…] vi på PowerGamer.se tror också på framtidens svenska utvecklare och har under en längre tid bevakat Högskolan på Gotland. Precis innan allt brakade loss med E3 var vi än en gång över och deltog under GGC (Gotland Game Conference) och där fick vi bevittna en rad olika titlar. Ett projekt som fångade vår uppmärksamhet extra mycket heter Velocity och Lead Programmer Anders Andersson svarade mer än gärna på våra frågor.

Anders är 22 år och har studerat Speldesign & Programmering på Högskolan på Gotland. […] Grundkonceptet med att kunna skapa ett helt universum från ingenting är hans drivkraft och därför sökte han sig till Gotland. Det har under utbildningens gång blivit en del mindre projekt men de två kommersiella spelen The Elite och Velocity är två titlar som han lagt ned extra mycket energi på. Teamet BitCanvas som består av sex personer har ansvarat för utvecklingen av Velocity och det kommer lanseras via Android-konsolen Ouya.

GGC 2013, swedish game awards

Pwning the Swedish Game Awards!

Oh, you didn’t attend the Swedish Game Awards Ceremony 2013?

Let us fill you in: there were 95 entries from almost every game education in the country this year. Three teams from Gotland University.

Guess how many of ours were awarded?

All of them!

Read that again with me. All. One hundred percent success rate. One, zero, zero percent.

Our slightly disturbed game design maestro, Marcus Ingvarsson, were so kind as to record the proceedings. Here’s his compilation of the important bits – when our student projects King of the Thrill, Little Warlock and Fly or Die received their awards in Stockholm last night.

And as if that’s not enough, we had GAME Alumni and two time Game of The Year-winner Teddy Sjöström on stage to hand out the GotY-award.

All in all, this year saw a great competition and a great event. Hot on the heels of the Gotland Game Conference I couldn’t imagine a better start of the summer. 🙂

In the quiet words of Virgin Mary: FUCKYEAH!
