Swedish Game Awards 2009

The final deadline for this year’s Swedish Game Awards (i.e. Ragnarök) has just passed, and the winners will be announced soon. Tim W. picked out a few cool trailers for IndieGames.com and here are my three favorites of those:

Bloodline Champions is a really nice-looking team-based multiplayer game that’s made for professional competition. It’s inspired in part by DoTA and League of Legends. No release date.

Paperworld is a “friendly and cozy” simulation game that has a fantastic papery look. That’s about all there is to know about it at this point.

Unlike a lot of the other entries, Haven and Hearth is playable, although in an alpha state. It’s an MMORPG based on Slavic and Germanic folklore where the player’s actions can have a permanent effect on the game world. Read the about page on the site, it sounds very interesting.

Heaven and Hearth looks oddly fantastic. From the trailer and the page it looks like it has an Unreal World/Stranded/MMO Crafting sort of vibe. Can’t wait to try it out. I want to build a cabin!

Heh, PaperWorld reminds me of Okami a lot.

Did that for me too, every time I restarted it, then I just left it stalled for a couple of minutes and it finished.

A first look at Haven and Hearth suggests it might be the RPG World Online replacement I’ve been looking for ever since it decided to suck, though I should probably actually play it before praising it. :)

I want to play haven and earth because apparently you can balance dead bears on your head.

Anyway it looks like a 2D, more player-friendly Wurm Online.

Isn’t DoTA and League of Legends basically the same thing? Huh. I’m sort of disappointed that they have a similar artstyle going on too… Though after checking their site I think I like it a bit more, trailer didn’t do it justice.

Haven and Hearth looks a bit repetitive right now, hope it’s pretty fun… Having permanent effects on the game world is a big promise that’s hard to keep, I wish them luck with that! It could turn out really cool.

That last one is a pretty interesting concept on their about page. I hope it goes well for them
