Breakfast meeting at The Game Assembly

22 October, 2011 - 13:09

Now it's time for a new breakfast meeting in Malmö. Welcome to take part in discussion and conversation!

Ann-Sofie Sydow, education manager at The Game Assembly (TGA), will start the morning by presenting Hermods and its strategy for the future.

After that there will be a presentation of The Game Assembly (TGA), an industry-commissioned vocational colleage in Malmö that educates 3D graphic arists, C + + programmers and level designers. The region has a strong game cluster and TGA is a vital part of this ecosystem. TGA started in 2008 and has graduated 40 people. Of those 14 currently work at Ubisoft Massive, the rest work at other game companies regionally, nationally and internationally. At the moment 40 students have internships and nine of them have internships at smaller game companies at Minc. TGA works closely with the gaming industry, and allows students to work in eight game projects throughout the program.

In the past year the gaming industry has grown stronger and this has also been seen regionally. Just in Malmö Assassin's Creed Revelations, Far Cry 3, Little Big Planet, Ilomilo, MilMo, Bumpy Road, Touch Grind, Frenzy Chicken and many more games are made.

At breakfast on this occasion there will be an opportunity to test some of the games and see some of the students' creations in the studio. If you stay a few minutes after 9:00, you will also have the opportunity to see students in action. At 9:00, there will be stand-up meetings on all game projects. Frantic activity where implementing cooperation is the key to success.

The schools teachers Danny Antivalidis, Kostas Gialitakis, Niklas Hansson, Martin Jonsson, Lars-Ove Dahlin will be there to answer any questions.
