Hey thanks for the info! I'm particularly interested in what's going on in the Melbourne area. It seems that there's quite a lot of activity in the city, which is good as out of everywhere I'd be most interested in working around there. I visited last month and it seems like a great place.
I've got ~14 years experience working in the web industry, and have been making web games for the last 8, and have picked up some awards for various ones along the way, so hopefully that'll count for something. Oh, if anyone's interested in working in Brighton, UK, just give me a shout, I can offer advice in exchange :) Cheers iestyn On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 1:02 PM, Aileen <abautist...@gmail.com> wrote: > Welcome iestyn; > > There is a demand for your expertise especially in games development. > I think Aussies are just about to hit their peak in regards to making > a gaming impact on the world stage- take for example Firemints recent > sell to EA, the strength of Fruit Ninja and the every growing > popularity of LA Noire. > > There's an immediate identification of comradery, teamwork, > entrepreneurship and respect of skills within the indie and commercial > developers which is always great to see in any industry because > there's crossovers and genuine support.
