Top: Erik SvedÃ¤ng, Emil Berner, Anonymous, Petri Purho, Jens Bergensten, Andreas JÃ¶rgensen & Jonatan SÃ¶derstrÃ¶m (Cactus). Bottom: GÃ¸ksel (Decipher), Nicklas Nygren (Nifflas), Joel NystrÃ¶m, Kian Bashiri & MÃ¥rten BrÃ¼ggemann (laying down). Missing: Erik SjÃ¶strand.

Behold the awesomeness of Swedish (mostly) independent game development!

We also made some games there.

Nifflas – http://www.indiegames.com/blog/2008/07/freeware_game_pick_avoid_the_e.html
Kianis – http://www.indiegames.com/blog/2008/07/freeware_game_pick_you_have_to.html

+ there are few more, but they are unpublished at this stage. We are still wondering what to do with our (me + Erik SvedÃ¤ng) entry…
shit!

How come they ‘re wearing no shoes? Only one thing comes to my mind. ORGY.

the products of Sweden’s secretive ‘game gene’ experiments finally come face to face, and together, they form ULTIMATE TEAM SWEDEN OF SWEDISHNESS INC.

makes me wish our British experiments weren’t all based off injecting kids with ground up Atari cartridges, CURSE YOU PLASTIC DEFORMITIES!

I hate that shirt I’m wearing. I’ll never wear it at official occasions again ;(

The event was great, I should post something about it in our blog as well :)

Just to point out: I’m NOT Swedish.

(Also I left a message that contained links to games that were made during this event. Unfortunately the spam-filter caught it).

@shit! : “How come they â€˜re wearing no shoes? Only one thing comes to my mind. ORGY”

Maybe because they are all really dead?

Wearing shoes indoors is uncommon in most countries (it tracks dirt around the house so people take them off at the door), so I expect that’s the reason.

Looks like the virus made it the whole way to the sites core…. Derek’s Heart.

So I will take it from the previous post that other people are having trouble accessing the forums too? This is irritating.
