See this page? There's not that a whole much there, is there. What is behind all that, however, is the functionality for tsumea members to upload exported Unity 3D files to the site for display.

These are really small assignments (100 / 200…
Screenplay reports that Melbourne game developers have suffered a set back as support supplied by Film Victoria's Digital Media Fund has been halved by the Victorian Government. The Digital Media Fund has been extremely beneficial for the Melbourne games industry in sparking new opportunities and helping developers realise their goals. In a recent budget announcement, only $1 million would be provided to game initiatives for the next two years, sparking disappointment from the Games Developer…
When the classification board (a part of The Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) body) made a statement last year about seeking to rate and classify DLC content such as iPhone applications (in the same way all console and PC games are required in Australia), it was met with bewilderment and harsh criticism amongst many Australian iPhone and game enthusiasts nationwide. Such a move would seem highly impractical (the current number of apps in the appstore total more than 150,000)…
When Infinite Interactive published a playable flash version of the highly addictive puzzle-RPG hybrid, Galactrix, many wondered when the Melbourne based developer would dip their feet into the Facebook app space, where casual games like Bejeweled are raking in some serious player numbers.

It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog on what I’ve been up to. Mostly because I’ve been quite busy with all sorts of work. Thankfully the outcome of which is that I now have quite a deal of things to write about.
First to talk about are my efforts to materialize an indie game studio and to shape it into being an entity that is considered professional and not in fact an unemployed designers idea to create a job for himself.
For the last 6 weeks I’ve been attending a small business program…

All the latest youTube members we've subscribed to from our own channel are checked regularly for new videos, and if any are found, they're automatically added to our media section and our front page.
Whether you're a one man indie or a…
