Australian Digital Game Developer Census

This page was the central point of contact for Australian Digital Game Studios that were included in the industry census released 30 April 2014, with links to the results.

After reviewing the Australian Bureau of Statistic 2012 census and suspecting that in just fifteen months that things in the Aussie digital games industry may have changed somewhat, in October 2013, I decided to make it my personal mission to conduct a rigorous headcount of every game development studio across the country.

I individually wrote to each and every studio in Australia and provided a link for them to fill in a Census survey. The response rate was >98. 8% . It took around 5 months to build the database and then verify each individual entry for accuracy.

The results were publish in my thesis, for which I was awarded the UTS University Medal (2014).
