Oplæg Til Lav-Et-Spil-På Workshop
Proposal for”Nordic Game Jam” (Revised by JJ 12-10-2005.) Nordic Game Jam is a weekend workshop in January 27-29th 2006 at the IT University in Copenhagen, Denmark. The workshop is about "making a game in a weekend", dealing with game design and technical issues, and meeting other people working with game design and development. The workshop is technologically agnostic, but all games created must follow the shared theme of Cooperative Multiplayer Games. Participants can sign up in groups or as individuals. Individuals will be asked to form groups during the workshop. The workshop also provides a special opportunity for working in OTEE's Unity engine. Program The weekend begins Friday with a welcome and an introduction. During the weekend, participants work in teams on creating a game prototype based on the shared theme of the workshop. On Sunday afternoon, teams show their projects. Favorite projects are selected by other participants and by a jury. Hopefully we can get a few companies to sponsor some prizes. Goal The purpose of this event is (at least) two-fold: First of all, the goal is to provide the possibility for skilled practitioners to get together in a sandbox context and hopefully explore new interesting ideas that could inspire and improve their everyday work. Second, to help bridge the gap between different agents in the game- sector in the Øresund Region which don’t often meet, e.g. the established game industry, student environments, media institutions, technology providers etc. Side 1 af 3 Attendees We aim for 50 participants from the following target groups: • Experienced developers who want to work in a smaller format and try out new gameplay ideas (approx.

The Danish Computer Game Industry Annual Mapping 2005 Copenhagen Business School May 2005 Please refer to this report as: ʺA Mapping of the Danish Computer Games Industryʺ published by IMAGINE.. Creative Industries Research at Copenhagen Business School. CBS, May 2005 A Mapping of the Danish Computer Games Industry Copenhagen Business School · May 2005 Preface The present report is part of a series of mappings of Danish creative industries. It has been conducted by staff of the international research network, the Danish Research Unit for Industrial Dynamics, (www.druid.dk), as part of the activities of IMAGINE.. Creative Industries Research at the Copenhagen Business School (www.cbs.dk/imagine). In order to assess the future potential as well as problems of the industries, a series of workshops was held in November 2004 with key representatives from the creative industries covered. We wish to thank all those, who gave generously of their time when preparing this report. Special thanks go to Søren Sørensen, President and CEO, Interactive Television Entertainment ApS; Christian Majgaard, CEO, World Simulation Software; Morten Borum, CFO, IO Interactive; Peter Juhl Nielsen, Investment Manager and Associate Partner, BankInvest; Morten Nielsen, Marketing Manager, Electronic Arts Denmark; and Jesper J.

Special emphasis was placed on identifying bottlenecks related to finance and capital markets, education and skill endowments, labour market dynamics, organizational arrangements and inter‐firm interactions. The first version of the report was drafted by Anders Mehlbye, Copenhagen Business School, during the autumn of 2004 and finalized for publication by Julie Vig Albertsen, who has done sterling work as project leader for the entire mapping project.

Game Development, Education & Incubation
Game Development, Education & Incubation A brief overview of Scandinavian game development, markets, education, and support structures. A report from the EU-Interreg IVa funded project Scandinavian Game Developers. Main author: THE EUROPEAN UNION Björn Berg Marklund The European Regional [email protected] Development Fund Introduction This brief inventory and analysis of the state of Swedish, Danish and Norwegian game development aim to highlight past and current trends within the regions’ industries and supporting structures. In a short period of time, the situation for game developers has been severely altered as a result of the closure of big players and the rapid evolution of the marketplace. The industry in each country has been able to adapt to these changes well, and we’ve seen a dramatic industry expansion in the past couple of years as the main turbulence has subsided and new companies are given space and opportunity to establish themselves. In Sweden, Mojang has played an important role when it comes to characterizing the industry as the company’s policies are quite indicative of where Swedish game development is heading and what it has been shifting towards in past years. In 2010 and 2011, approximately 49 new companies were founded in Sweden, which is reminiscent of the rapid industry expansion industry in 2006-07 before it slowed down due to the economic turmoil around 2008. A huge influx of smaller indie developers are cropping up all over Sweden and all but a few focuses on creating entertainment titles for the new markets and distribution channels. The Danish industry has enjoyed an equally impressive expansion in recent years.
