IGEA (Interactive Games and Entertainment Association) and Screen Queensland present: “Meet The Publisher/Platform,” an online Q+A series to support the Queensland and wider Australian games industry to have better access to decision-makers from publishers, platforms, and investors in the video game industry.
With limited travel making it difficult for local studios to meet decision-makers and pitch to potential investors, we want to make sure the lines of communication stay open.
Do you want to release a game but are not sure what publishers are looking for or how to even get onto a console? In this three-part series, you will get a chance to meet representatives of different companies with different views to guide you on your journey.
Webinar 1: Fellow Traveller & Blowfish Studios

As such, they supported the release of games that use real Unix commands (Hacknet), a surveillance thriller series that puts you in the shoes of Big Brother (Orwell), a sad game about an elderly goat farmer (The Stillness of the Wind) an even a dystopian steampunk mini-golf adventure game.
