Age of Conan developer Funcom has been granted $260k from the Norsk Film Institutt, to help in the development of a Snowboarding game.

It's the Norwegian government's digital arts division, and they're supporting Funcom's 'On The Edge Of The World'; a free-to-play onliner.

The snowboarding game is in development for PC and MAC and will be free-to-play online, with competitions running, a full social network and 'trans-media integration.

On The Edge Of The World will be promoting the Norwegian winter sports which is why the national government is likely so interested in pledging their support.
