Dreamlords Creator Receives Cultural Grant
Company: Lockpick Entertainment
Date: 22 May 2007
Swedish online game developer Lockpick Entertainment received a cultural grant from the Nordic Game Program at last week’s Nordic Game 2007 conference.
The six-year program, launched in 2006, aims to boost the availability of games to consumers in the Nordic region. This year around DKK 5 million (EUR 671,000) has been earmarked for development funding, and is split equally into two rounds. The number of companies seeking funding from the first round reached nearly 40 of which six received funding from the program.
Said David Rosén, CEO of Lockpick Entertainment:
“We are really happy and grateful by this honor, to be one of only six Nordic companies receiving this grant. To us at Lockpick Entertainment it is not financial funding as much as an official recognition of our creative vision. As an independent Nordic developer it can sometimes be challenging to compete with large international companies and their big budget productions. Our recent much acclaimed and let me point out, first, game Dreamlords proved Lockpick Entertainment’s ability to attract an international audience through innovative approach and thinking. This grant will allow us to further develop new and unique concepts.â€
About Dreamlords
Dreamlords is a MMO-cross genre game that combines role playing aspects such as character development, trade skills, and special abilities with a RTS combat mode. Dreamlords has an asynchronous online model where an infinite amount of players exist in the same universe where fierce battles are fought between players over the precious lands.
Dreamlords is much like playing a traditional RTS game online with the added enhancement of a persistent world filled with exploration, questing and wars for conquest.
