2017 NG Awards nominees: Audio, Fun for Everyone

2017 NG Awards nominees: Audio, Fun for Everyone

A highlight of the annual Nordic Game conference, this year’s edition of the Nordic Game Awards takes place in the Unreal Theatre, the main auditorium of Slagthuset, on Thursday, 18 May at 18:00.

Host of the show will be Niels Forsberg, recently honored as “Biggest Geek-Comedian in the World” by Utrecht International Comedy Festival. No pressure at all 😉

Niels will hand out prizes in eight categories, with the nominated games to be announced over the next four days – starting today with “Audio” and “Fun for Everyone”:
 
2017 NG Awards nominees: Audio

Best Audio nominees
As with all the categories, the competition here is fierce. The Battlefield series is well-known for its striking audio, and the latest chapter is no exception, being nominated for several awards already. This is also the case for Playdead and their award-winning title INSIDE – and with three other very strong contenders, it’s looking like a tough decision for the jury:

Battlefield 1, EA DICE (SE)
GoNNER, Art in Heart (SE)
Hitman, IO Interactive (DK)
INSIDE, Playdead (DK)
Owlboy, D-Pad Studio (NO)
 
2017 NG Awards nominees: Fun for Everyone

Best Fun for Everyone nominees
A special award for the best children’s, family, social or casual game that’s suitable (and enjoyable) for a wide range of people and ages. The headliners in this category include Clapper, which took the “Indie Sensation Award” at NG16, as well as the latest Salon release from veterans at Toca Boca and the crazy sports game Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure:

Clapper, Bridgeside Interactive (SE)
Fuzzy House, Fuzzy House (DK)
Mussila: Musical Monster Adventure, Rosamosi (IS)
Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure, Game Swing (DK)
Toca Hair Salon 3, Toca Boca (SE)
