It is reputedly the first board game to taistelu be commercially published after the Suomessa Finnish Declaration of Independence in December 1917. 1918 The game describes the events of the 1918 Finnish Civil War which ended earlier TYPE in 1918. The verse form rules are Board game rather difficult to understand, and the movements of the Whites are depicted PUBLISHER in much more heroic terms than those Juusela & Levänen of the Reds. Despite the slightly skewed worldview, the game can still be won by either party. The game follows real historical events very closely. The locations and borders are in the right places and the final battles have a clear significance. An interesting detail of the game is that the headquarters of the Whites is located in Germany, while the Reds reside in Russia. This probably owes to the fact that back in the day there were talks that Finland should have a king of German descent as a ruler. 9 Perspective: Kimmo Antila I worked as a project manager in Museum experience that someone familiar, whom Centre Vapriikki between 2006 and 2012 my grandparents had bought sweets and my job was to develop permanent from, was stabbed to death and thrown exhibitions, particularly ones related to off a bridge.

    “For when established identities become outworn or unfinished ones threaten to remain incomplete, special crises compel men to wage holy wars, by the cruellest means, against those who seem to question or threaten their unsafe ideological bases.” Erik Erikson (1956), “The Problem of Ego Identity”, p. 114 “In games it’s very difficult to portray complex human relationships. Likewise, in movies you often flit between action in various scenes. That’s very difficult to do in games, as you generally play a single character: if you switch, it breaks immersion. The fact that most games are first-person shooters today makes that clear. Stories in which the player doesn’t inhabit the main character are difficult for games to handle.” Hideo Kojima Simon Parkin (2014), “Hideo Kojima: ‘Metal Gear questions US dominance of the world”, The Guardian iii AGRADECIMENTOS Por começar quero desde já agradecer o constante e imprescindível apoio, compreensão, atenção e orientação dos Professores Jean Rabot e Clara Simães, sem os quais este trabalho não teria a fruição completa e correta.

    SLOVAK GAME INDUSTRY 2020 / 2021 03 Introduction 04 Slovak Game Development Industry 2020 07 Game Dev Companies 59 Outsourcing and Services 95 Education 107 Events 118 Slovak Arts Council To currently speak about the games industry without mentioning the unprecedented times we’re all living through is a neary impossible task. I would like to express a huge amount of gratitude towards every single studio’s and individual’s hard work and dedication - continuing not only to create, but also to support our association. We have entered an era of uncertainty and hard decision-making that will challenge contributors to all sectors and industries. Games communicate in a language free of restrictions. There are no walls, and borders are surpassed with ease through both playing and the creative process. Sharing work or a simple project has never been easier, likewise entering the games industry. And since most of our work is digital, we've never been better prepared for what’s ahead. Nurturing the environment and community comes at the price of sustainability. Some of our members have been badly impacted by this crisis - we feel for them and pledge that We’re all in this together.” The games industry has always reinvented itself by either introducing a new generation (that starts later this year), developing new tools, innovating creative processes, or all of these factors. And such means of reinvention have never been more important than now - when the pathway to talent, best practices, knowledge sharing, learning, promotion, and business development have been severely cut or negatively impacted. The challenge to remain competitive whilst also pushing the envelope is a continual process of insight, innovation, and ingenuity.
