The Great Journey

We welcome Natalia at Killmonday Studios as our next speaker!

<h1>How do you find your way into the games industry?</h1><p>We have invited 5 industry people this fall to share their stories of how they ended up in the industry we all love.</p><p></p><h2>We welcome Natalia at Killmonday Games!</h2><p>"﻿I would love to share a handful of experiences throughout my career, building Killmonday Games. Both wins and fails, and how specifically failure has guided us to build our company culture."</p><p></p><h2>A﻿bout the speaker</h2><p>Natalia started creating games in 2012 together with her husband Isak Martinsson.</p><p>Since then they have created a few free games and their two big games Fran Bow and Little Misfortune.</p><p>Killmonday Games was born after a long search for creative freedom.</p><p>Natalia has been a creator and director for about 15 years in other creative branches such as theatre, music, film and animation.</p><p>When the concept of indie game development knocked on the door, Natalia and her husband Isak, couldn’t let go of the opportunity and they started to experiment, knowing nothing about the game industry or how to create games! After releasing 2 games, we are in a new place with the company, with 14 co-workers and a desire to go deeper into the universe we have created with our games.</p><p></p>

<h2></h2><h2>Friday Stories</h2><p> 👉 What’s in it for me?  Get inspired by interesting talks from industry people. Network and meet local and national game devs and others from the games and experience industry.     </p><p>👉 What is it?  A unique talk +Q&A session series. For five Fridays this fall you’re welcome to join and get insights from industry thought leaders, people with ideas and experience from working with them.     </p><p>👉 Why?  We aim to inspire students and game developers to make games by introducing them to industry professionals. A knowledge and skills transfer where game industry professionals host workshops on both narrative and inclusive game design.   This is a collaboration between The Great Journey and Futuregames together with the industry to bring lectures and workshops around meaningful topics like diversity and inclusive game design.</p>
