The not-for-profit community-driven co-living incubator
The vision of Spelkollektivet is to build creative spaces for indie game developers which transcends borders. Places where a person can spend a weekend or an entire lifetime, with the intent of fulfilling their dreams of making games, memories and friends.
The rent is low and everything is included - breakfast, lunch, dinner, bedroom, office space, internet, electricity, furniture, and consumables such as laundry detergent. You're sharing the experience with other awesome game developers from all over the world. Even though we might work alone on own projects, we're still a big team that always has each other's backs by sharing experiences and knowledge.
Spelkollektivet is intended for game developers who are looking for a supportive and creative community in which to pursue their passion for game development. The low rent and all-inclusive amenities makes Spelkollektivet designed to be an affordable option for those who might not have the financial resources to rent their own office space or live in a high-cost area with all the desired amenities.
The emphasis on building a community of like-minded individuals who can support and learn from each other makes Spelkollektivet for people who value collaboration, shared experiences, and the opportunity to form connections with other developers from all over the world. The fact that everything is included, from meals to laundry detergent, makes Spelkollektivet designed to be a space where developers can focus on their work without worrying about the practicalities of daily life.
