The Australian Centre for the Moving Image has been doing great things for independent gaming lately, putting on a “”http://www.acmi.net.au/independent_games_festival_2007.aspx">Best of the Independent Games Festival" exhibition this summer and now starting up a conference for independent developers called Free Play (which begins on August 18th):
Developed by the indie game community for the indie game community, Free Play provides the only forum for Australian independent game developers to share knowledge, showcase their work and initiate new projects.
Free Play is designed for independent voices, small budget creators, and those who don’t fit the pre-packaged sales strategies to come together, strategise and celebrate their creativity.
The keynote speaker is Jonathan Blow. I always knew Australia was an awesome place!
