The Swedish Game Industry Career Fair
We were in Stockholm two days ago, braving the miserable rain together with roughly 330 other people, for the Swedish Game Industry Career Fair. As is our custom we put students and their games front and center – letting them speak for our educations.

The event only lasted four hours, but they were packed! It was particularly interesting meeting so many prospective students coming from […]

alt.ctrl.GDC 2018 coverage
As you might know, three of our student games just returned from the Game Developer’s Conference in San Francisco. And, judging by the press, they were as well received there as they were here! We thought, let’s gather some of the love in one giant #notsohumblebrag-post.
Make: Magazine interviews 1st year student Eric Osana for Pump the Frog at 7:56.
Kotaku loved Totally Not a Game Studio’s “Grave Call“. It’s a fantastic 2-player game where […]

Polygon plays Yo! Bartender
Think you can actually bartend? This game simulates just how hard it is
Yo Bartender! uses Wiimotes and real bottles to simulate making drinks in a hurry
Dante Douglas over at Polygon met one of our student teams at the Game Developers Conference, and wrote a little piece about Yo! Bartender.
[…] The bottles arrayed around the play area are slightly weighted and use six Wiimotes (one inside each bottle) to register when they are turned upside down […]

The Jury (so far)
The jury represents the most hard-working participants at the Gotland Game Conference (save for our students, natch). Jurors travel from around the globe to hear our students’ presentations a day before the conference even starts, and to spend the better part of a week playing all of the student productions on the show floor.

Help us create a “Woke award”
The Gotland Game Conference is looking over its award categories this year. There will be many changes, but one of higher priority than most is the addition of a… “diversity award”, for lack of a better term.
