Nick Lowe, VP of Interzone Australia, has published a Perth Games Industry survey. The aim is to collect information from those in the Perth Industry or those people interested into getting into the industry.

Survey can be found here: http://survey.letsmakegames.org/

The information gathered by this survey will be used to produce a Perth games industry profile document, which will summarise general characteristics and capabilities of the local industry. We want to facilitate organic and sustainable growth to help ensure a long-term future for game developers in Perth, and a clear objective assessment of the local industry is an important part of making this happen.

We want to hear from you if: you are in the industry, want to get into the industry, or even if you have left the industry. We will greatly appreciate if you could take the time to complete this survey.

Initial results will be presented at the IGDA Perth meeting tonight(!) and put a more detailed report available in a few weeks.

The results of the Australian Broadband Survey are in!

From Whirlpool.net.au: “The survey was conducted over a four week period — from 31 December 2008 to 1 February 2009, during which the survey was successfully completed and verified a total of 19,763 times.The results should be a wakeup call to the federal government and its plan for mandatory internet filtering. According to the survey, only 2% of Labor voters supported the filtering at the time of voting, with the majority not even realising it was an election policy. Almost 90% of respondents also said they would opt-out of any optional filter component, bringing into question the demand for such a system.”
