I’m not sure where the best part to start this post is, so I’ll go back and start at the beginning. If you are just here for the big news you could scroll down to the bottom of the page and just read the last few paragraphs. I won’t mind, even though I wrote all of this just for you. Yeah, you heard me: For you, and that’s not something I say to everyone reading this page. But do what you want. It’s not like I spent my time writing it or anything…
Either way, (almost) all joking aside. It all started about a year ago. Some may even notice that the date coordinates pretty well with the first time this blog was truly active. In January 2012 I participated in my first Game Jam which was the Nordic Game Jam 2012. I didn’t feel like spending 48 hours programming, so I joined the board game track where I joined up with 4 others. I could go into detail about the process, but I’ll keep it short. Together, the 5 of us created Mussades, an Arabic themed race-to-the-finish board game using hexagonal tiles. The game proceeded to the finals and won both the Jury’s Choice Award from David McCarthy and the Best Board Game Award.
We participated with the same team again this year, and we made a card based game where the players compete to create the finest creatures. The game made it’s way to the Nordic Game Jam 2013 finals under the name Beast Builder and won the Most Sellable Game Award. Later, the name of the game was changed to Wanted: Igor, although the game itself still remains the same. This time, the price we won was shelf space in Faraos Cigarer in Copenhagen. This means that we suddenly had more motivation than ever to actually get our games to a sellable state.
And now for the big news!
We’ve finally started actively marketing ourselves and our games under the name Kvasir Games. With this act we hope to gain your support for our commitment to make our games reality. Check us out on Kvasirgames.com, like us on Facebook and/or follow us on Twitter. We promise that this won’t be the last you hear from us!
