Moving to Australia and NZ

Submitted by voxel on

A Canadian here with 3 published console titles under my belt looking to migrate to the southern hemisphere for a change.

I guess the places I would consider moving to are: Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Wellington. Are there enough game companies in those cities or are they mostly outside or in smallar cities?

Thanks in advance.

Hey Voxel,

Brisbane is probablly your best chance at having alot of game development companies in the same place. We have five of the largest game companies in Australia (Pandemic Studios, THQ, Creative Assembly, Auran and Krome) all within a few kilometres of each other. Plus, the weather, and the cost of living, is much better in Brisbane than Melbourne or Sydney!

Cheers
