Make 'em Up Game Development Competition Winners

Tobias Andersson, CEO Turborilla, together with the winner Matti Larsson, CEO Zordix.

The winners of Make 'em Up is Zordix with their RPG Furiae. The prize is a contract with Turborilla worth 65 000 EUR which will be used to develop and release Furiae.

- "Furiae is a fresh take on a stale genre. It is hard to innovate in such a well-defined area of gaming, and Zordix has managed to keep a fine balance between innovation and familiarity. We are going to receive quite a bit of criticism for choosing someone from the same small town, but Furiae is worth it.", says Tobias Andersson, Turborilla.

- "We are happy that the judges of Make 'em Up recognized the beauty and fun of Furiae. Now we will take the game from vision to reality.", Matti Larsson, Zordix
