In spring 2007, Oxeye moved into it's first "office" at a business incubator called VentureLab in Lund. Oxeye's room was the left-most window on the first picture. We got the place on the pitch to make a minigame arcade platform, but first we developed and released The Strategist, followed by Harvest: Massive Encounter.

Our room in VentureLab. On the first picture is Alexander Persson ("aegzorz"), who was part of Oxeye from 2005 to 2008. His main responsibility was porting Daisy to Mac. On the second picture is Daniel Brynolf, using the texture packer to import artwork to Harvest.

In May 2007, Harvest was nominted for "best game" at the Swedish Game Awards (a student competition). Harvest won second prize and received 20,000 SEK (about $1944 at today's exchange rate). Here is a picture of the exhibition hall (Jens in an Oxeye t-shirt and yellow/brown hoodie), and the Harvest stand.

In the August 2010, we went to a gamejam in Berlin. I don't recall what game we made. On the last picture we let a visitor playtest an early version of Cobalt (then called "Project B", B for "Blueface")
