Podcast teaser

 

What makes Finland a welcoming environment or challenging environment for international talent in games?

The Finnish game awards, Rory stated, is a great example of how the games industry remains supportive of one another considering that it could easily turn in a competitive market. It feels as if Finland is competing against the world as opposed to single companies and that a “rising tide lifts all ships” attitude prevalent in Finland. Dmytro agreed with that opinion adding, “it is a mantra for Finland that it is a community effort and new people arriving from the outside are surprised to learn this. It is natural that we do not compete as the country’s population is so small.”

 

Other topics covered in the podcast:

  • The flip side of the coin. What are challenges when working in Finland?
  • How did you experience translate into the games industry?
  • How did you find the courage to make the change?
  • For an international student or career changer, what practical advice, how can a person do to increase the chances of getting their first steps into the Finnish games industry?

The monthly meet-up evenings in the Digi&Game center is a chance to hear important insights from industry leaders and to network with game development professionals. At the event we host  Game DemoCorner where people can show-off their latest creations be in a video or board game!

The Future of Gaming Takes the Stage: Bit1 Semifinals Held at Jyväskylä Digi & Game Center

The hunt for Finland’s next hit game reached a fever pitch in Jyväskylä as the Bit1 Semifinals took over the Digi & Game Center. Student teams showcased their talent, competing for a coveted spot in the national finals.

 

 

JYVÄSKYLÄ – The atmosphere at the Digi & Game Center (DGC) was electric as the Bit1 competition, Finland’s largest contest for student game developers, arrived for its regional semifinal. The event brought together the brightest young minds to pitch their projects to a jury of industry veterans.

A Hub for Innovation

The choice of venue was no coincidence. As the heart of the Central Finnish game industry, the Digi & Game Center provided the perfect backdrop for the event and a faithful audience.  A few exciting game demos were showcased by aspiring Jamk student teams, including an impressive 2D retro-style metroidvania side-scroll shooter made by a solo dev and a couple of promising indie co-op multiplayer romps for “friendslop” lovers. 

 

Insights from the Core: A Conversation with Dmytro Zhovtobryukh

Among the industry veterans guiding the next generation was Dmytro Zhovtobryukh, a central figure in the Finnish game education and development scene. An indie studio founder with a decade of leadership experience behind his back, a board member and Vice Chair of Expa Game Business Hub, and a lecturer at Jamk University of Applied Sciences, Dmytro’s has a rather unique perspective. He has experienced Bit1 from every possible angle: as an audience member, a judge, and a lead organizer.

Bridging the Gap Between Lectures and Legend

For Dmytro, Bit1 is far more than just a competition; it is a vital laboratory for professional growth. While classrooms provide the foundation, Dmytro believes the “magic” happens when students step into the arena.

“Students learn significantly more through practical work like Bit1 than they do during traditional studies,” Dmytro explains. “It gives them a genuine feeling of  challenge and success, which is vital—it’s the kind of experience that truly ‘gives you wings.'”

He emphasizes that Bit1 serves as a reality check and a launchpad. It allows student teams to put theory into practice, helping them understand the industry’s inner workings while building the two pillars of a successful career: knowledge and connections.

The “Cave” Era is Over

When asked about the current state of game development, Dmytro is quick to dispel the myth of the lone developer. Today’s industry is as much about market and audience as it is about mechanics or pixels. Especially in a hub like Jyväskylä, the community is the catalyst for success.

“Success in game development requires more than just focused, solitary work,” he notes. In Dmytro’s view, effective networking is often the key to validating creative ideas and transforming a promising prototype into a viable product. Ultimately, technical proficiency works best when paired with the ability to communicate your vision to a broader, outside audience.

Advice for the Brave: “Baby Steps to Success”

For those looking to break into the industry or considering applying for future Bit1 events, Dmytro offers a mix of pragmatism and encouragement:

  • Be Bold and Brave: “Show your talent, even if it feels scary. You might feel like you don’t have what it takes yet, but you have to put those doubts aside and just do it!”
  • Master the Pitch: Dmytro views pitching as a craft. “It’s a skill, and to master it, you simply have to do it. Practice is essential; baby steps will eventually lead you to success.”
  • Find Your Edge: Don’t just follow trends. Find what makes your work unique and learn to communicate that “edge” clearly to your audience and business partners.

As the semifinals concluded at the Digi & Game Center, Dmytro’s message remained clear: the next generation of Finnish game developers needs every bit of help to truly shine — so Expa will by all means continue to pave the way to a brighter future for them. And events like the Bit1 contest will keep serving as low-barrier proving grounds to test their skills and ideas, one pitch at a time.

Companies that attended to the event on 18th Feb 2025:

 

Info about the Jamk intership program

General description:
The Jamk internship is a 5 month training period where the student intern becomes an integral part of the company workforce with real responsibilities, professional connections, output expectations and professional growth. The company will onboard the intern and provide guidance and the intern works diligently to deliver for well-defined company needs while actively developing their work life skills.

 

Intern skills:
The students applying for internships are Jamk Business Information Technology / Game Development students educated in

  • programming (C#, Unity + others)
  • arts
  • design
  • production
  • quality assurance
  • usability
  • marketing
  • team work
  • project management
  • business.

This skillbase is widely applicable for many types of digital and creative work for various use cases.

 

Target time:
Negotiable based on company needs and student curriculum, but the students are looking to start their internship during the spring, or latest by the end of summer.

 

Intern salary:
Negotiable based on company resources and intern needs.

 

Benefits for companies:
For companies looking for junior workforce, this is a great opportunity to do a 6 months low-risk trial period. Interns are also an excellent resource for project specific work. In several cases, the internship has led to a hiring.

 

Responsibilities for companies:

  • Making an internship contract with Jamk
  • A separate job contract for paid internships (+NDA if needed)
  • Guidance and mentoring throughout the internship period
  • Evaluation and reporting based on Jamk criteria
  • Contact kalle.raijonkari@jamk.fi for additional info and questions

 

 

Info about The Entrepreneur Clinic

Before starting your entreprenur internship make sure you have

  • a business plan
  • a cash flow statement
  • convinced your guiding teacher (Kalle Raijonkari) that your activities aim for a career as an entrepreneur.

 

The internships completed at the students’ own company are completed similarly to any other internships. However, the students don’t need to create a business ID during the internship because game companies are often formed around an existing product with a promising outlook. This way it is safer to complete the internship even if the outcome is that the business idea doesn’t work well enough.

Game Audio Awards 2023

Game Audio Awards 2023

Last Friday, on the 10th of March, Game Audio Awards were held for the first time in a few years. The last time it was organized was in 2020. This caused some electricity in the air, as the event was eagerly anticipated.

 

The event was held at Hotel Lasaretti in Oulu, Finland. The event is the biggest of its kind in all of Europe.

 

The evening started with toasts when entering the hall. After taking seats at the preselected tables, the show started. First, they showed a clip of Lukas Stasevskij, who is a part of Game Music Collective, playing a song from the Last of Us with a cello. The video was filmed in war-torn Kyiv in Ukraine. This setup caused massive goosebumps. Lukas has been all over Finnish and international media for the last year for the work he has done for Ukraine.

 

Next up were speeches from the event’s sponsors: Housemarque and Fingersoft. Especially Ville Rauma’s speech concerning the importance of entertainment in these stressful and difficult times was a good reminder for all of us. That is what the whole event is basically for: to come together in a well-organized event, enjoy great food and drinks, get to know new people, and celebrate last year’s very diverse game music and audio design.

The Jury in 2023 consisted of six highly awarded individuals: Rob Krekel, Panu Riikonen, Ville Sorsa, Panu Aaltio, Kristofer Eng, and Joel Schoch. The jury members have individually participated in the music and audio departments of games/franchises such as The Last of Us, Uncharted, and Control. They also have lots of experience working in the film industry.

 

The category of best game sound design had ten nominees: Angry Birds Journey, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022), The Callisto Protocol, Dome Keeper, Dying Light 2 Stay Human, The Forest Quartet, MARVEL SNAP, Metal: Hellsinger, Oakenfold and Total War: Warhammer III. 

 

Eventually, the winner was published and it was: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022)

 

 

Dave Rowe from Infinity Ward
Dave Rowe from Infinity Ward was present remotely and gave a thank-you speech to the audience.

The second category was the best Game music. It also had ten nominees: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022), Card Shark, Chorus, Dying Light 2 Stay Human, Floodland, Friends & Dragons, Horizon Forbidden West, Metal: Hellsinger, Trek to Yomi and Vampire Survivors.

 

The winner of this category was: Metal: Hellsinger.

The evening had some live music as well. Producer/Oboist Saku Mattila and Guitarist Ossi Maristo from Game Music Collective played some songs for us.

After the official part of the event was over, we got to enjoy some more live music, this time from Lasse Junnila. Also, during the set people were enjoying the music and socializing at the same time. These kinds of events are great for networking.
