Matthew Clark (The Gardens Between) & the Aus Senate inquiry into game development

Matt Clark is the Technical Director at The Voxel Agents and  he joined us this week to speak about their upcoming game The Gardens Between. This stylish and calm puzzle game drops two friends into surreal nostalgic worlds where players do not control their movements but the direction of time itself. The Gardens Between were selected for the PAX Australia Indie Showcase in 2017, and we learn how the game has developed since we spoke to Henrik Pettersson from the show floor. After absurd amount of time (642 days to be exact) the the Australian Federal Government has finally responded to the eight recommendations from "Game On: More Than Playing Around." We discuss what the government said, after missing their deadline to respond by more than a year and how game developers have been reacting.
