ICEBREAKERS a series about celebrating Nordic successes

The Nordic game dev community doesn’t discuss and celebrate our successes enough!

From all over the Nordics, we produce plenty of wonderful and award-winning games but we discuss them quite seldom, which is why IGDA Finland, IGDA Sweden and Norway’s Noneda have joined forces to form Icebreakers, with the aim of doing just that.

We hope to bring the Nordics closer, discuss our differences and similarities, and of course, about the games we make. This time we’re talking with a handful of devs who worked on award-winning games from all three countries!

Special guests:
Oliver Granlund (Sweden) - A Way Out & It Takes Two (Hazelight)
Eevi Korhonen (Finland) - Returnal (Housemarque)
Catharina Bøhler (Norway) - My Child Lebensborn (Sarepta Studio)

Join us 30.03 @ 20:00 (Finnish time) on Twitch or listen to the audio podcast later on!
