Company

In a striking contrast to the latest funding round from Screen N.S.W's Interactive Media Fund where $300,000 went mostly to app development and none towards games projects, today Film Victoria announced that 12 Victorian games projects will share over $540,000 through their "Screen Development - Games" and "Screen Marketing - Games Release" funding initiatives. The projects given the green light from Film Victoria are:

From Screen Development - Games:

  • BURDEN, Pixelpickle Games
  • FRAMED, Loveshack Entertainment
  • KINGDOMS RISE, Flyleap Studios
  • ORKZ vs HUMANZ, Twiitch
  • PACHIMOU RUN, M5859 Studios
  • SDK, Three Phase Interactive
  • THE FAMILY STARR, Pachinko Pictures

Screen Marketing - Games Release:

  • DUNGEON DASHERS, Sum, Andrew Liam
  • HOOVES RELOADED, Rubber Duck Software
  • PUZZLE PUPPETS, Matthew Pearce
  • TASTY TADPOLES, Mark White
  • TIME SURFER, KumobiusBURDEN, Pixelpickle Games

These projects were chosen for their quality, marketplace appeal and long-term business benefits which Film Victoria CEO, Jenni Tosi, believes will have a positive outcome for the local sector...

(Tosi) We have a wealth of talent and innovation in our local games sector and these studios have unparalleled access to technology and international markets, however they also face increasing competition.

With our support an increasing number of original games are being released by Victorian companies and this will help strengthen and grow the sector.
