Sponsored events

Binary Culture was a key sponsor of this year's Nullarbor event, which proved to be the most successful on record with 15 game entries as well as five pieces of original digital music. The Nullarbor competition deadline coincided with the end of GameJam, which helped mobilise the local community.

Binary Culture CEO Robert Spencer was the night's master of ceremonies and lead the hundred-strong crowd of Perth digital artists through games on display. These ranged from multiplayer first-person shooters with bouncing projectiles to an educational children's game featuring a rabbit as the main star.

Spencer said, “The venue was great, the turn-out was very strong, and the quality of games in this year's competition shows just how well the Perth development community is growing. I can't wait for next year.”

On the Perth Independent Game Maker's Initiative forums, Joel Blackwell posted, “The entries were absolutely fantastic this year, and I've never had so much trouble deciding who should come where in terms of voting. My piece of paper had many scribbles on it after changing my mind so many times. Kudos to all behind organising it.”

The winners will be announced at the next Perth Chapter Independent Game Developer's Meeting on September 2, at the Velvet Lounge.
