I'm not fully aware of the current crop of companies still producing games in town, 3 years is a long time in the industry.icbtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070633252162860464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119361957970651148.post-21941568911629411422013-01-23T10:46:20.490-03:302013-01-23T10:46:20.490-03:30No mention of Best Boy Entertainment?No mention of Best Boy Entertainment?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02588854340939506573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119361957970651148.post-89126574530732950472010-12-05T21:00:41.831-03:302010-12-05T21:00:41.831-03:30Thanks for the link :)Thanks for the link :)icbtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070633252162860464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119361957970651148.post-50712339224043884072010-12-04T14:09:11.816-03:302010-12-04T14:09:11.816-03:30Here's a list of NL companies for easy referen...Here's a list of NL companies for easy reference:<br /><br />http://www.candevs.ca/atlantic.html#nfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119361957970651148.post-29057148931625454802010-08-17T14:24:49.607-02:302010-08-17T14:24:49.607-02:30@jamie Thanks for the mention of Binary Dawn, it&#...@jamie Thanks for the mention of Binary Dawn, it's great to be a part of a growing community of game developers locally.<br /><br />Outside of who you mentioned, there is also Celsius Game Studios who specialize in iOS apps as well as NewIsland Interactive, both of whom released entertainment apps in the last year.<br /><br />I believe there is also a group specializing in QA as well but don't know their name off hand.RoddieKieleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04069993762418403853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119361957970651148.post-81756698165008771292010-08-10T13:09:35.739-02:302010-08-10T13:09:35.739-02:30@Sam, I wonder what the barrier to entry was that ...@Sam, I wonder what the barrier to entry was that prevented the industry from flourishing like this before? Has the costs of development dropped enough? Did some government program silently encourage its growth? We certainly have had the creative, artistic, and technical minds for this to have happened earlier.<br /><br />@Adam, I know, it's a small town, normally I know someone in a shop :P I'm sure they have good people too like the other companies :)icbtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070633252162860464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119361957970651148.post-27406917382774620392010-08-10T12:51:15.814-02:302010-08-10T12:51:15.814-02:30What???
