One of the few positive developments in the Norwegian Games Industry the latest years is that in 2007 the Norwegian Game Awards was started. Even though the prizes are rather minor it is still an excellent chance for small and unknown companies to show what they are working on, get support and recognition from several places.
In 2003 Norway published 3 games total, however now the numbers continuously growing. In 2007 the number had grown to 11, which is a positive development, but there is still a long way to go.
