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.
