The Age’s award-winning Screen Play blog is a unique mainstream forum that discusses games and gaming culture and attracts thousands of daily readers. Over the past year, Screen Play has published over 100 blogs penned by amateur writers under the “Your Turn” banner – a unique opportunity for anyone to get their voice heard by thousands of Australian gamers and industry representatives.
Your Turn blogs can explore any issue related to interactive entertainment, and I am particularly keen to start publishing “insiders” perspectives on the challenges and highlights of game development. I am sure many within the Australian games development community could have a lot to offer, with rare insights into the game making process. Screen Play readers would also love to hear about your latest triumphs (and disasters), retrospectives on fondly-remembered Australian games, your thoughts on future directions for the industry, and much more.
Naturally Screen Play is also a great vehicle for publicising your work or your studio, and there’s the added incentive of the best blog each month winning a PlayStation 3 console. Give me a shout at screenplayblog@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to submit a blog.
