studio gameOn supporter network

We are fortunate to have an honoured Industry Board for studio gameOn. The board boasts representatives from Queensland’s growing community of casual game developers.

They will be our critical friends, aiding and abetting with the studio application process and offering advice and hints during the six week development process. You can follow some of their comments via the studio forums and watch them at work via our youtube channel

We are also fortunate to have some fabulous service and network support, as well as donations of space and equipment!
