Skygoblin
Swedish video game developer
Skygoblin is a Swedish video game developer based in Gothenburg, formed in 2005 as SLX Games. They became Skygoblin in 2011, after they adopted the name used by the development group of the freeware version of The Journey Down.
They developed the casual 3D MMORPG Nord in 2009, which became the first fully 3D virtual world on Facebook when the game was adapted for that site in 2010.
In 2010, they released the freeware version of the first chapter of graphic adventure game The Journey Down. After a two-month delay, they released a commercial high definition remake of The Journey Down in May 2012. The Journey Down: Chapter One was part of the Indie Royale summer bundle in July 2012.

Why this record matters
“Skygoblin” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Skygoblin, Swedish and video provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7537723. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2005, 2011, 2009 and 2010.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
