Sveriges Radio: Spelutvecklare i medvind på Campus Gotland

Speldesignelever från Campus Gotland har just återvänt från en stor spelmässa i Köln. Eleverna har också uppmärksammats vid stora spelmässan i Stockholm nyligen. Ett av spelen är också nominerat till utmärkelse i USA.

Jerry Jonsson som gått färdigt spelprogrammet och numera bor med familj på gotland berömmer utbildningen som en av de bredast i landet. Han är just hemkommen från Köln där han träffat 20 olika speltillverkare vid möten under två dagar för att sälja sitt och sambons spel. Och kursledningen på Campus Gotland är nöjda. Totalt finns 300 platser på spel och grafikutbildningarna. Förutom de cirka 100 som nu tagits in till förstaårsstart står ytterligare 200 i kö till utbildningarna, konstaterar utbildningsprefekten hans Svensson.

2nd year project Defunct – best second year project at the Gotland Game Conference – earned its creators 25 000kr, a legal start package and counseling from Fondia, together with the coveted Game of The Year award. The jury’s motivation read:

From the onset, this game presents itself as a complete package and it executes expertly across the board to deliver a richly satisfying and ready for retail experience. It’s ambitious, colourful and a heck of a lot of fun to play.
