We’re really excited to officially announce our new partnership with PlayStation First and the Academy of Interactive Entertainment. We’ll be working with talented student teams at AIE’s Sydney Melbourne, Canberra and Adelaide campuses to help them bring their games to PlayStation consoles through the PlayStation First academic programme.

We’re already working with a number of student teams and we’re showcasing some of their games on the PlayStation stand at this weekend’s PAX Australia. If you’re heading to Melbourne for PAX be sure to drop by and check them out.

The full press release is below. (more…)

Matt Sainsbury, who runs the game site Digitally Downloaded, has been pretty busy lately.

As well as running his own site he’s written a book on Game Art.

One of the interviewees for Matt’s book was Nic. Click on the images above to read his interview.

Matt’s book has art and interviews from 40 video games. The art is awesome and the interviews provide amazing insights into the minds of the games’ creators. You can buy a copy of Game Art here.

Matt also recently interviewed a number of Australian game developers about why Australian development has had its best year ever.
