IGDA Melbourne

FilmVic’s next round of funding applications have a May 9 deadline, so don’t miss out on your chance to get up to 50% of your project and up to $100,000 through the fantastic Games Investment Program (http://film NULL.vic NULL.gov NULL.au/www/html/88-games NULL.asp)

Some of our IGDAM regulars who’ve been successful in securing funding in the past include; Tin Man Games (http://tinmangames NULL.com NULL.au/blog/), Brawsome (http://www NULL.brawsome NULL.com NULL.au/blog/), Touch My Pixel (http://www NULL.touchmypixel NULL.com/) and Play Bit Entertainment (http://www NULL.playbitent NULL.com/). I’m sure they can tell you how handy a bit of extra cash towards a project can be.

Funding is open to Victorian games devs, so check it out and let’s encourage government support for our fabulous local industry.
