Thanks to all that voted in our previous poll "How confident is your outlook for the local industry in 2010?". It's quite extraordinary that most of you (some 72%) have a rather bleak view of the industry for this year, with only 13% expecting a rebound from the previous year's gloom.
Our new poll is about Australian/New Zealand game developers and their passion and strive for their work.
In late 2006, the then-president of worldwide studios for Sony Computer Entertainment, Phil Harrison,…
This is my first post so I'd like to say a big hello to everyone!
I'd like to share my latest artwork which was a personal character project of mine.

I originally designed this character for the online art…

It's been a long time since we've heard anything about the new performance capture tech developed and implemented on L.A Noire by Sydney developer, Team Bondi. We first got a small hint of the tech while posting a job advertisement in late 2009 for Depth Analysis, but a recent press release from the Team Bondi related company reveals a lot more on the ground breaking capture technology.

Our good friend, Yug, from AustralianGamer has made a call for all local independent game developers to give him a yell as he'll love give you more coverage!!
