Title: Moved to Melbourne - game dev capital of Australia
Post by: conclave on Fri 02/12/2016 23:12:15
Hi all,

I recently relocated to Melbourne to meet like-minded game developers.

If you are based in the city, it would be good to meet up and collaborate on game ideas!

I know nothing of Melbourne except what I've learned from watching Phryne Fisher mysteries.  Basically it's a murderous cesspool with a glitzy veneer of sex and alcoholism, right? ;)  Good luck!

Hah thanks. Actually Melbourne ranks #1 as the most livable city in the world. And there will be a huge one week long game dev expo next year. So you could check out the city then if you are interested.

Not only is Melbourne the murder capital of Australia - it is also the cultural and sporting capital. Oh, and we've got trams too. One thing we don't seem to have enough of is coffee shops...

I don't know anything about the game dev expo - I suspect it will be at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre, aka "Jeff's Shed".

I sometimes get the impression Australia is the promised land for AGSers...

I've just been watching that too. ;-D First season is pretty good, the second not so much. Or maybe I've just reached the end of my patience for the rampant mishandling of evidence and crime scenes.
