Project Toyworld

Take on the role of a young boy as he journeys through the creative worlds he forms in his mind: don the knight armor and defeat the evil king, put on the hat (you know which one I’m talking about) and explore ancient ruins in search of lost treasures, fly through space with a jetpack and battle mutant aliens.

When a child’s imagination is the limit, there’s no telling where he’ll go next.

Gotland Game Conference 2012 coverage

Dealspwn: Sweden’s Hidden Gaming Powerhouse

All great games have to start somewhere, and Gotland University gives their students a truly great start. Nestled in a disarmingly picturesque Swedish island, this small yet breathtakingly innovative game design course grounds applicants in the theory, even the ethics, of how to create the next generation of games – but practically applies this knowledge from the get-go.

PowerGamer: Den ljusa framtiden

Högskolan på Gotland har sedan år 2001 utbildat och slussat ut Sveriges representanter i spelvärlden och dess forna elever hittar ni idag på DICE, Blizzard, Ubisoft, Lionhead och Massive.
[…]

Under tre, med möjlighet för fyra år så går eleverna under utbildningen GAME igenom alla de utmaningar som de efter sin examen att möta ute i den faktiska industrin och ställs inför precis samma motgångar, problem och eventuellt segrar som deras färdigutbildade kollegor tacklar varje dag.
[…]

Tillsammans så lyser lärarna och eleverna på GAME starkare än solen. Kontrasten som uppstår mellan Visbys tysta och lugna leverne och den sprudlande och levande miljön som huserar inne i Wisby Strand när GGC 2012 sparkats igång är chockerande.

I en fet bonanza speciale har vi samlat några av de intryck som Joakim Sjöberg fick sig under sin vistelse på Gotland Game Conference 2012!

Booth Crawl!

“We’re past the point of no buss”, the Conference Producer informed the audience yesterday afternoon. “The point where – if I were to get hit by a buss, this thing will still happen. Thank you for coming and making this possible!”

The Gotland Game Conference 2012 is now a fact, and it had a great start. more t/k. 🙂

Craaaap!

One of the two airlines servicing Gotland decided to stop doing so, today. Thank you very much.

Grendel Games‘ founder (and GGC Juror) Jan-Jaap made an astute observation;

“have you considered that maybe GGC is cursed w.r.t. air-travel in some way?”

HA! Let’s review:
2010: volcano eruption. European flights cancelled.
2011: volcano eurupts AGAIN. European flights threatened.
2012: Skyways – one of the two airlines servicing Visby – files for bankruptcy the day before the expected delivery of 26 of our international guests.

What travel-related catastrophy will befall GGC 2013? Let loose your inner Nostradamus in the comments, please. 🙂
