 | 11.00 – 11.10 Welcome to the Showcase! Let the fun begins. |
 | 11.10 – 11.20 Matilda Lind – Drivhuset LIMBO is a creative development program designed to support game creators and early-stage projects in shaping and strengthening their ideas. Through workshops, guidance, and practical tools, participants gain support in defining their game vision, understanding their target audience, and developing their projects in a structured and inspiring environment. The program encourages creativity, collaboration, and long-term growth within the games industry. |
 | 11.20 – 11.30 David Täljsten – Game Dev Spelusion / Sys Dev Kristianstad Kommun The skills that didn’t ship with the game Not every game developer ends up making games. But that doesn’t mean the time spent learning how to make them was wasted, far from it. I’ll share how studying game development shaped the way I write code, think about problems, and approach software, and why the skills that never shipped with any game turned out to be the most valuable ones. |
 | 11.30 – 11.40 Markus Sköld – Software engineer at Combitech Use your passion for development in other fields! How to use your skills in other fields of development, the journey, and how it can be an exciting time to explore new opportunities. Did I intend to pursue a career that wasn’t game dev? No. Did it turn out great? Yes! You might think that you’re limited in your choices, but that’s not true. |
 | 11.40 – 12.00 Panel – Questions & Answers Grab some snacks, take a sip, and shoot your questions at our guest speakers! Let’s discuss about games and career opportunities until we realize it’s late lunchtime. |
 | 14.30 – 15.00 Awards ceremony! Stay with us until the end to see the results of the best game awards! |
