      Location G Building, University of Skövde, Högskolevägen 3

      What is behind the hugely successful games from Sweden and Skövde? How does a game come to be and how much thought, planning, knowledge and hard work is required? These are questions that the University of Skövde, together with students from the Game Development programmes, will try to answer during the game conference So Long, and Thanks for All the Games, 31 May and 1 June. The conference is free and open to the public - welcome!

      During the conference, you will be able to both listen to the students' individual presentations about their games or components they created for the game, as well as test the games on display.
