The Great Journey is a community!
Each and everyone interested in creating games regardless of experience, level or background are welcome here.
We are a community and in a community we share beliefs, resources, needs and risk.
We support and inspire each other to overcome our challenges and achieve our goals.
This is the place to make your game!
The project Stories from Värmland and the Nordics is initiated by The Great Journey, Karlstad Innovation Park and Embracer Group and the goal is to build a games industry in Värmland.
The project is funded by Embracer Group, Region Värmland and by the European Regional Development Fund.
Find a friend - build a team - make a game
Courage!
Be brave! Talk about your idea, share your concepts and ask for feedback!
Make!
Do what you can with what you got. Find other people for the things you don't.
Glocal!
We may create games in Värmland, but we make games for the whole world!
Inclusivness!
TGJ is a safe space for everyone. We work towards a more equal video game industry for all minorities.
