FutureGamers!
Join us in welcoming Niklas Strid from Paradox to Berghs! This February, Thursday the 16th, he will be visiting our old home to hold a lecture on scripting and the lives of our students in the industry after they graduate. Being an old FutureGames student himself, he will surely have many a valuable lesson to teach all of us! This is followed by SpaceBar#7 later that day.
So join us for a marvelous evening – learning about and celebrating the most wonderful part of our lives; games! Bring your loved ones, colleagues and persons of interest to this evening of festivities, starting at 17:00 with Niklas Strid’s lecture. The bar opens at 18:00 and as always, everyone is invited!
More information regarding both Niklas Strid’s lecture (including which room it will be held in) and SpaceBar will be published shortly.
Niklas Strid is an Assistant Developer at Paradox Interactive, a Swedish game developer and publisher situated at Götgatan 78 in Stockholm. He recently graduated from FutureGames and is specialized in scripting, historical research and screenwriting.
Futuregames har precis mottagit ett glädjande besked från YH myndigheten! Vi har fått fortsatt förtroende och har därmed säkrat nya intag till skolan under 2012 – 2013. Vi kan alltså fortsätta utveckla Futuregames i nära samarbete med spelbranschen. Vi är givetvis mycket glada och nöjda över detta besked – grattis till nuvarande och kommande studenter – det är ni som gör utbildningen bättre! The future looks bright!
Hello everyone!
What a year! Not only did FutureGames move to new offices (from Sveavägen 34 to Åsögatan 119!) even closer to the game industry, we also kept ourselves very busy. Here are some examples;
FutureGames student Ina Bäckström was interviewed by Swedish newspaper DI regarding her important role and devout interest bringing E-sports into mainstream entertainment.
Sublime Interactive, a new company was formed. FutureGames students open up a indie game developer studio.
They also went to the Swedish Game Conference, as well as Dreamhack, where they did the following lecture about FutureGames and their company;

Here are some pictures of our stand and lovely students. A bi g thanks to everyone who signed our interest lists will be contacted during the spring when we invite you to our “Öppet hus” events. If you didn’t sign up, be sure to check back from now and then so you don’t miss out on any opportunities.
