Game On

Overview

Brisbane has many claims to fame, and doubling as New York in the forthcoming Thor: Ragnarok is only one of them. Yep, before the city was known for being a Hemsworth-Hiddleston haven, it was known for plenty of things — such as pumping out video games like Fruit Ninja.

That sounds like something worth celebrating, doesn't it? And isn't something as great and vibrant as Brissie's bustling game development industry worth honouring, too? The folks at the Brisbane International Game Developers Association certainly think so, which is why've they're heading to Brisbane Powerhouse for a day of home-grown gaming fun.

Game On is the end result: a one-day pop-up exhibition of some of the fine titles made by local studios. Find out more about games as diverse as Ninja Pizza Girl, Assault Android Cactus and Steppy Pants, chat to talented people behind them, and even play one or more. It's the next best thing to spending all day in an arcade — and it's free.
