| trasharmdsister12 said: Montreal and Edmonton have some bigger development facilities in place and Toronto is seeing a huge increase in gaming dev interest. I know EA just opened up shop there recently and so is Ubi. Silicon Knights is also based in St. Catherines which is close to Toronto. I think TO is a good place because it's close to so many universities (McMaster, York, Ryerson, Waterloo, etc.) with some sort of technical basis. I know of a few spinoff devs right from Waterloo that have moved to the GTA (Greater Toronto Area for those of you that aren't Canucks!) to start up their companies. I actually got offered a job at one to come up with an idea for a DS game and build a prototype over my coop term! ^_^!! I really wanted to take that job but I got offered 3 other jobs that same day and well... it's a long story. I'd agree that Canada is becoming a hot centre for gaming development and I personally couldn't be more excited. Once I'm done undergrad I plan on getting into game dev some more myself. I hope the moves made by the Canadian government urges more governments worldwide to support gaming devs. |
well the australia industy is half that of 2008 (1000 jobs gone) and they are calling for the same thing but no blowing 2 billion dollars on an keycard for public transport that doesn't work.
anyways people here have Plently of time so feel free to tell that long story because i dont know about everyone here but i like those stories.
Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong
