Oulu Games Cluster released a new magazine for interest groups at the Game Developers Conference, San Francisco today. The magazine introduces game companies of northern Finland along with some of their games and their makers.
"In the nineteenth century, Oulu was famous for its tar
industry. The end of the 20th century brought along Nokia mobile
phones and our town became a noteworthy international concentration
of the ICT industry. Now we stand at the beginning of a new era.
The next milestone will be crafted from games", says Ville
Wittenberg, the editor-in-chief and CCO of LudoCraft Ltd one of the
game companies of the region.
Games are already the number one article in Finnish cultural
exports. Oulu is the second most significant centre of games
industry in Finland, right behind the capital city region standing
in the front line.
Wittenberg continues: "Pellaaja is a local word for player. We are
all united by the passion for games and playing them. We have
created new jobs and opportunities for success from our very own
dreams. Be the product a new console with a revolutionary
interface, the foundation for 3D Internet, or a virtual gaming
community for kids, the faith in oneself always lies strong in the
background."
