The Nordic Game Program has announced the batch of developers who will receive cash grants from the Nordic Council of Ministers, including the team behind the PS Vita version of
LittleBigPlanet, and
The Ball developer Teotl Studios.
The game development grant scheme was set up back in 2006 to help support the video game scene in the Nordic regions. Since then over 100 cash grants have been given to game studios, helping to bring games like
Limbo, Max and the Magic Marker and
Brothers to release.
As part of the announcement,
Tarsier Studios revealed its next game
Hunger (pictured), a third-person action adventure game that has received 500,000 Danish Kroner ($91,588) in funding.
Meanwhile
Glitchnap, the team behind fast-paced four-player battler
Laza Knitez, has received 300,000 Danish Kroner ($54,924) for a new game called
Suprematism, while
Teotl Studios received 300,000 Danish Kroner ($54,924) for its game
Solus.
Notably, a number of these studios have previously received funding for past games through this scheme before. Teotl, for example, received funding for
The Ball, while Visiontrick Media, who have today received 300,000 Danish Kroner ($54,924) for new project
Calantina, was
previously granted funding for Pavilion.
