Gotland Game Conference
From June 1st, 13:00 (Sweden), you can play some ~30 student games with us in Gather.town. It’s a virtual world available to anyone with a headset and a browser, and we’ve built an entire showfloor in it! Wander around at your own pace and play what you want to.
Students have been strongly encouraged to produce web builds of their games, so the majority of titles can be played directly in the browser by simply walking up to one of the cute little arcade machines and pressing “X”. The students will be right there by their game between kl 13-16 June 1-2-3, so you can talk to the developers that made it. But the showroom is open any time inbetween June 1, kl. 13.00 to June 3, kl 16.00.
Be a part of the yearly celebration of our students' achievements, by helping us playtest their games!
International programmes
Since autumn 2016, we welcome students from all over the world to Campus Gotland and our three International Bachelor's programmes, which are taught entirely in English.
The programmes all have Game Design as their major, in combination with a minor in either Graphics, Programming or Project Management.
We also offer Master's programmes in Game Design.
