On 25 April, three developers will meet to battle live on stage at Nordic Game Jam in Copenhagen, Denmark in the final qualifier of the third season of the Nordic Game Discovery Contest (NGDC).
Each team will pitch their game in front of a panel of experts, who will then decide on which project deserves to win and go on to the NGDC finals at this May’s Nordic Game conference.
The NGDC qualifier at Nordic Game Jam takes place in the event venue from 17:00 on Thursday, 25 April. The NGDC contestants in Copenhagen are:
Kong Orange (DK) presenting Vokabulantis
