Website for the Finnish chapter of the International Game Developers Association.
Despite the gloomy and cold weather and the Finnish tradition of “tipaton tammikuu” (“Dropless January”, meaning an alcohol-free month) a whopping 138 visitors showed up to enjoy their time with a glass – or a pint – of their favourite beverage. We were also given the pleasure to welcome 9 new faces aboard. Hope to see you at the next gathering, too!

2008 was a special year for Score, the Finnish game development club heavily associated with IGDA Finland. We decided to provide you with a wrap up of all our coolest activities that took place last year, just to get the feeling that a lot is happening!
Supernova Game Development Lab
Just in the beginning of 2008 Score hit a major milestone and got it’s very own game lab inside TAMK School of Art and Media, called Supernova. Our undisclosed budget got us top of the line audio equipment, large screen, four well specsed workstations with all of the important licenses. This really allowed us to have a place to gather in daily and share the newest updates while working out the next grand scheme.
iPhone UI home view
It’s time to highlight something we made just for you iDevice owners out there!
If you point your iPhone/iPod Touch browser to igda.fi, it will give you a customized version of the site for low bandwidth connections and touch screen UI. From there you can easily browse the newest updates at a glance without spending the whole day downloading our full site’s features. Of course you can always choose to view the full instead by clicking the “normal view” link at the bottom of the page.
Do you like the feature? Please give us some feedback on the comments! 
We’d like to urge you to answer Neogames’ current anonymous survey collecting national salary information. It literally takes mere seconds to complete and benefits our industry as a whole, so pretty please go visit the survey and nudge your friends to do the same!
The results can only be considered reliable if enough people contribute, so now we lean on you, the community, to join the cause!
What’s happening in 2009? What surprises we will see? Which Finnish
