The government doesn't care about anything unrelated to mining or the housing market

video games are for virgin faggots. this is a country of chads and stacies, op

Government is a mob of fundamentalist cunts that don't understand technology.
Anti-intellectual population censorious and condemnatory of the creative arts.
Game development liaison depends on high-speed internet.

Welp.
Welp.
And welp.

Why would anyone want to make video games in this shitty country.

>It's an 'OP is a clueless fucking retard' episode.

It's a wasteland in all senses of the word

Is Sydney secretly the most advanced city in Australia?

>It's an aussie shitposting thread episode

Also we have an absurdly high cost of living.
It'd be like developing in San Francisco, except the we're in a fucked up timezone and 7500km away with worse tech infrastructure.

CAPSLOCK IS RUISE CONTROL FOR COOL

> indieshit

Its the most boring city in the world.

we got uh...
fruit ninja?

Not with all the chinks everywhere.

Say what you want about Melbourne, but it's definitely up there. Ignoring all the feminists and SJWs, it's okay.

isn't sydney full of shitskins on welfare

>Complain about the Chinese
>Praise Melbourne
Umm, user?

Because we can't afford it. We're too busy fending off bushfires and the dreaded dropbears from our homes.

>tfw the neighbours forgot to install the dropbears repellents system

When the media constantly goes out of its way to portray video games as the cause of all things wrong in the world and the classification board is filled with soccer moms who will ban your game at the first sight of anything "naughty", I certainly wouldn't want to deal with that shit every time i try to release a game.

>They're an advanced first world country

Serien is a bit shit, innit?

Saying it's okay, isn't much of a praise user.

Geographic isolation, extroverted culture, generous government grants to work in other mediums, poor general grasp of game theory and lacking skills in non-athletic games and by extension design of said games.

Certainly more so than america with half the population having a massive chimp out.

When all else fails go the Nintendo route.

>3rd world internet infrastructure
>Government has no interest in anything related to technology
>3rd world internet infrastructure

way to expensive to dev anything here welcome to socialism

>Government is a mob of fundamentalist cunts that don't understand technology.

It's easy as fuck to get grants in Aus, Film Victoria, Screen Australia, I can list another half a dozen that have all financed projects i've been involved with over the last half a decade.

>Anti-intellectual population censorious and condemnatory of the creative arts.

Blah blah blah, utterly irrelevant, you want to make stuff, make it.

>Game development liaison depends on high-speed internet.

Last studio I worked at had 1 GB/s net, more than ample.

Again, entirely horseshit.


The only reason Australia doesn't have a more developed video games industry than it does is because we're a bunch of lazy cunts, the average dole bludger in Aus earns more than the average junior games developer in the US.

There is ZERO incentive for anyone to get off their ass and make something.

Still waiting to see Warlords Battlecry 4.

Tooru!

Ayatsuji Tsukasa from the superior series

This game is australian

This just makes you sound like one of those lazy cunts though. Or is everyone but you?

kill yourself hippie cunt

She's gross tqbh

>Be Australian
>Want to do something in a creative field
>No prospects here

I just want to move country.

aussies are one of the most neutered people on the planet. it wouldnt work out even if you replace blood and gore with sunshine and rainbows.
mortal kombat and gta got banned there several times. i bet you get stoned for letting a fart rip out your asshole.

It has a small population (not big enough to produce games or media for their own market) and low investment in internet infrastructure

Are there even a relatively popular indie game from Australia?

>wahh I cant create 3D BBC models at Bioware in Australia

grow up fagot

Why do you keep posting that same image talking about sydney? It's weird at this point

real talk is because the internet infrastructure is hugely underdone and so any sort of real serious programming`s best actual bet is to move out of australia. the second you become viable the only thing that makes sense is to leave

kevin rund was a cunt, but when everyone complained about him dumping shitloads of dosh into internet infra, but hes literally the reason everyones still not on dial up

Why is this country so shit? There's nothing here. If it wasn't for family, I wouldn't hesitate to move.

I don't like Mass Effect or Bioware, user. I would just like a career in gaming or a GOOD film industry, not Australian crap.

>This just makes you sound like one of those lazy cunts though.

How?

>Or is everyone but you?

No, everyone who bitches about the lack of industry here and does nothing about it is a lazy cunt.

The creative industries here are full of the hardest working and most ridiculously talented people you'll find anywhere on the planet.

>No, everyone who bitches about the lack of industry here and does nothing about it is a lazy cunt.
You make it sound easy to start an industry, just like that. For the same amount of effort, you could probably move overseas to a country that actually has an industry.

Who /uni/ here?

>make it sound easy

Dude, you could literally fund the development of a game on fucking unemployment in this country.

Yea, it sucks. I'm a shy faggot with no friends

It's o week lad, go out and meet some people

Going back for my 6th year

>indieshit

I'd much rather be indie than the corporate cuckhold I am at the moment working 80 hour weeks on blockbuster normie shit.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with quality indie stuff, it's a handful of developers doing something they love for the enjoyment of others.

What field?

I'll post job vacancies here in Aus for them available right now.

You better be doing medicine famalam

Move to Melbourne, at least our city is decent.

brisbane > melborune

there, I said it

...

>tfw no qld bf

Used to have one but it became to costly and the Aus divisions of bigger companies shut down
some smaller studios are still chugging along though
Also delete that fucking flag

Media Arts
There's a reason it's called "daycare for adults."

There isn't enough technology sector work to survive on even outside of videogames and cloud computing is making it even worse, everyone with talent moves overseas or realises it's hopeless and reskills.

...

They're a penile colony

I laughed at you then I remembered I am too

>Indigenous population makes up 2% of australian population
>Liberal activist wants 25% of the flag to be about them

>What field?
Well I wanted to do these things:
>Game development
>Start a band
>Music production
>Work in TV and film (but not on Australian shit)

Most colonies are, if they want a population.

Does stralia have a large IT industry? Because vidya companoes are born as an offspring of thay.

Fuckin can't wait to leave the house again October to March is way too long a break

Cuck flag there m8

australian IT is a joke

REEEEEEE

YOU FUCKING STRAYANS

GIB US YOUR UTES! I WANT A HOLDEN UTE.

I WANT IT NOWWWWW

no

Aboriginal flag makes no sense, how's the sun in front of the horizon?
Why is the sky black when the sun is up?
Why would you want to have half your flag be dirt?

qld? are you up north?

It's not a horizon, it's sort of a top down perspective, the red representing the earth, the black representing the people and the harsh Australian sun towering over and slow roasting both.

Nature, Civilisation, thing that gives and takes life from both.

FUCK WHEN AM I GETTING NBN

SOMEONE ANSWER ME NOW FUCK

Whenever you get it, it won't be as fast as the NBN fixed wireless i get 50/20

>muh government

Auscucks need to stop viewing the government as it's mother and do shit for themselves

Good job feds, way to show just how hard and far you can retard out.

9th year of a 2 major BA. I've been working a lot.

Not him but why is that the case?

Why don't they try to focus on technology?
