The first week in universities in Sweden usually consist of something called "nollning" (no idea how to translate that). It's basically eating up all your time in the afternoons and evenings (weird games, stupid party's, lots of rituals and plenty of bonding) and at the same time you're trying to keep up with the first few courses. I am betting it'll be a few days until we see Kaftan again.

 

Good luck, Kafty!

Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

I would have popped in sooner but I didnt get my access to the schoolnetwork til today and I havent even got my computer yet (just a suitcase with the most basic stuff) so my presence here will be random until I get everything fixed up.

 

 

The "nollning" is ok, except the idiots paired us 1337 gamedevs with economy students so its just me and the leaders who are from my department. I would like to know the people in my class first before.. and since Im eating penicilin for my wisdom tooth, I cant drink that much either.. gah

 

 

The education seems really awesome, we've got more gadgets and thingies than any other scandinavian Uni(including that sweet professional grade MoCap studio) and the teachers are from everywhere from L.A to Australia. Its also completely focused on game design, when we finish, we will be fully ready to take a job at a major developer.

 

 

...and we're almost all CRPG fanatics :D

Ive managed to break into school and hog a comp(because my access isnt working) and its interesting, all our lectures can be downloaded online as *.pdf's or powerpoint files so Ive been thinking about the morality of sharing it with you(if anyone's interested)

 

 

I mean, its already been paid for by the state so whats the harm in sharing it with the rest of the world? ;)!

oh, I forgot to say that.. just one of my teachers is Swedish. The rest are Brits, Danes, Aussies, and a solitary American so 90% of the education is in english, part of those 90% is the current lectures on the basics of game design and analysis.

Its mostly theoretical now, part of a course called "Introduction to game design and analysis" so theres no juicy how-to-program-realistic-shaders yet. I just downloaded a thingie at random to show you what it is(something thats completely legal to post here)

 

IGAD05_Interactive_Narrative_InfoAboutLecture.pdf

 

 

One perk I recently discovered is the game library :D I guess its obvious what thats about, free games for me!

 

Its also in some cases legal to download pirated games and other things, I dont know how it works but its possible.. I guess its the Uni who pays some sort of license thingie

Awesome, Kaftan. Just don't get yourself in trouble. That game library thing is da bomb.
