This time IGDA Finland gathering started differently because the evening begun with “IGDA Finland Presentations” at Pääposti Auditorium. The theme of the first ever session was money. We were positively surprised of the plentiful and versatile audience. There were a little over 60 persons show from students to business developers and game designers. It was also good to notice how the “IGDA Finland Presentations” attracted people who undergo never been at the pub nights but found “Presentations” a comfortable way to join the gathering. Some practicalities were comfort looking for their displace but otherwise things went well. The speakers at the first session were Erik Robertson from Nordic Game schedule. Ilari Kuittinen from Housemarque and Timo Vuorensola from Energia Productions. Erik Robertson reminded people to bear on funds from Nordic Game Program. The deadline for the applications is 15th October. Erik also presented funded projects from previous rounds and reminded that one company can displace more than one application but only one communicate per company can be funded. The applications should not be “too professional” and definitely no sequels. More information. The back up speaker was Ilari Kuittinen who is the CEO of Housemarque and head of Finnish Game Developers Association. Ilari talked about downloadable console games. Housemarque’s first PS3 call Super Stardust HD came out in June this year and has been one of the most successful PS3 downloadable titles within the measure months. In his talk. Ilari focused on future trends of the market. He admitted that casual games trend is reflecting to the downloadable console market as well and believed downloadable console games ordain be a huge merchandise in the future. Currently Bejeweled and Zuma are the best-seller casual games. There are a lot of fuzz going on around casual games. For example EA just founded a new division for casual games development. What comes to the “killer titles” for downloadable console merchandise Ilari sees that the hard core out of downloadable console games is not casual games. Currently Super Stardust and Warhawk are closest to the core. Ilari also mentioned that Housemarque is working on their new project for Xbox Live. The game will go out in 2008. Timo Vuorensola directed popular sci-fi comedy Star Wrek a few years back. Now Energia Productions is doing their back up movie titled press Sky. Finlandia awarded sci-fi author Johanna Sinisalo is doing the compose for the movie. Energia Production would also like to make press Sky game or even several games but they have no roll how to do it. So he talked about their production in development and asked for back up from game developers. If all goes well they would desire to alter three games: one before the movie comes out one at the same time and one after. Johanna Sinisalo would do the script for the game but all other details are not alter. Timo asked game developers to back up Iron Sky team! How to alter a bet how much would it cost how long time would it take what platforms… All help is highly appreciated and should be channeled to Timo. After IGDA Finland Presentations it was pub night as usual. 124 enthusiasts attended casual beer & hang around at the System Rock. All “IGDA Finland Presentations” speakers joined the pub night stayed late and hopefully got new perspectives and ideas for their work! It was also very nice to see that the be of girls is on the rise. We had fun – hope to see you again next time!
