It’s been a while since the local games industry has had a nation-wide head count, but that’s changed now thanks to Justin Brow from 60Sox (on behalf of the ISIS program). Justin made the call for developers a short while ago with the aim of gathering a more up to date headcount of the industry, and he’s successfully managed to collect a whole lot of staff number details from local game development studios, including independent games developers and games developer related services (e.g Firelight Technologies with Fmod). Please note, this study has only taken into account ‘commercial entertainment’ games and *not* serious games, advergames, infotainment etc. Using the data that Justin has passed on to me, I’ve made this nifty infographic.
