Turbo Tape Games, started in 2008, is an independent game developer in western Norway. The company also produces educational digital experiences, but focuses on entertainment games as its primary objective. Naval War: Arctic Circle, released in 2012, was the company's first major game, providing a real time strategy experience of modern naval warfare. Turbo Tape Games has worked on projects for clients such as the Bergen Science Centre VilVite, Sintef, TV2 News, Bodø University College, Bergen Museum amongst others.[1]

History

Frederik Breien and Jan Haugland developed a working relationship with the Bergen Science Centre VilVite, combining creativity, game design, software development to deliver interactive exhibitions to teach children about science and technology.

Breien, on short notice, stepped in to give a talk at a conference, replacing an airport-stuck key speaker, and delivered a lecture on games and game design. Attending was Dave Spilde, a founder of several businesses who was there to give his own talk (on digital distribution of cinema). An avid gamer, he dreamed about starting a game studio. Upon hearing the talk, he decided he would want to talk to Breien.

Turbo Tape Games was founded and incorporated in February 2008.[2]

Projects

As independent game developer, Turbo Tape Games uphold two internal entertainment game productions.

Naval War: Arctic Circle

The first, Naval War: Arctic Circle, is a naval real-time strategy (RTS) title released in 2012. The game is supported by the Norwegian Film Institute, Innovation Norway and the Norwegian Research Council, and is developed in close consultation with the Royal Norwegian Navy.[1] Published by Paradox Interactive, it is Turbo Tape Games' first standalone game production, and plans exist for potential expansions and future episodes.
