Update: The NGDC competitors for NM in Gameplay in Oslo have been selected – see you there!
On 5 January, the Nordic Game Discovery Contest Season III caravan travels to Oslo for a second year in a row to join Norway’s popular NM in Gameplay event.
“I’m really looking forward to checking out the latest and upcoming games from Norway,” says NGDC host and Nordic Game CCO Jacob Riis. “We saw so many games of really high quality at the debut NGDC qualifier in Oslo last year. I can’t wait to see this season’s competitors battle it out on stage in our new contest format!”
“We are very happy to welcome NGDC back to Oslo as the last year’s event was a big success!” adds NM in Gameplay organiser Nedin Mutic.
Update: Submissions closed on 18 December, and the selected contestants for the twelfth NGDC Season III qualifier at NM in Gameplay are:
Studio Gauntlet presenting Bonkies
Perfectly Paranormal presenting Helheim Hassle
Team Trampoline presenting Vikings On Trampolines
Now it’s up to the competitors to battle it out on stage in front of the NGDC judges and a live audience. The winning team will earn a seat in the NGDC Grand Finals next year at Nordic Game 2019, 22-24 May in Malmö, Sweden, as well as prizes from PR specialists Plan of Attack and Mail.ru.
