GamesCOM. The worlds largest computer games tradeshow. This is our third year at the event (see 2010 and 2009) but for once we didn’t actually exhibit anything. Instead we was a part of the (excellent) Nordic Game booth in the business area. Hanging out with the rather sublime community of game developers operating in the nordic countries.
… but we did spend quite a bit of time in the show too, of course. 🙂
GDC Europe has been great this year. Lot’s of inspiring lectures, great conversations and a fair amount of good parties to boot. 🙂
As is our way, we brought our students to this – the largest industry meeting place in Europe – to show their work (and thus, our work). We met a lot of old friends here but also made several new ones. Let’s just say we can look forward to several new guest lectures this autumn, and probably a staff exchange with the Communication and Multimedia Department at NHL University which we had a great time getting to know!
We’ve been to GDC Europe several times before. Check out 2010 and 2009.
TV- och dataspelsbranchen växer och i år väntas omsättningen stiga till upp mot 1,5 miljarder kronor enligt Dataspelsbranschen. På Högskolan Gotlands spelutbildning headhuntas eleverna redan när de börjar berättar Daniel Hagström som pluggar där:
Gotland Game Conference is a two day long conference for the international game industry and a huge public exhibition of our students’ projects.
We gather some of the best games and animations in our Motion Capture Studio during the Almedalen Week – for you to enjoy before we send students and games off to Germany for even larger venues.
The entire show floor is staffed and run by the student developers themselves – so whether you’re interested in gaming, education or a combination thereof; welcome to meet the talents of the future games- and animation industry!
You can drop by to play some games, watch 3D animated movies in our cinema or just chit-chat with our developers 11:00 – 17:00, Monday to Friday.
