Arcade Berg aka. "Learning Game Design with Arcade Berg"

No more GRIN

GRIN are closing their doors in the main office as well.

"It is with a heavy heart we announce today that GRIN has been forced to close its doors. This as too many publishers have been delaying their payments, causing an unbearable cashflow situation."

Not smiling anymore

It feels weird; the company that got me into "the biz" are shutting down.

It was a learning experience with both ups and downs and I don't regret taking a job there. Heck, I was lucky that there were people there at the time, seeing potential in me. I got to do a work sample like everyone else and sure, I think I did good but still, it was all about what they thought and what I did just happened to be what (at the time) the Lead Design in Gothenburg liked.

Oh yeah, I should post my work sample here.

I left GRIN over a month ago, but it was still nice having the name of that company on the resume. It sucks that they are closing for several reasons, one being that my CV is less heavy with a company that has shut down.

What the higher ups are gonna do now, I don't know. But hopefully they'll start some new company; helping Sweden keeping a good reputation in the game industry.

To all the people I worked with at GRIN:
Thank you all and good luck in the future!
