I've just got back from an networking session organised by the IGDA chapter in Perth, Western Australia (that's my home city). For more information, read Nick Lowe's take on the event.
I caught up with some like-minded individuals, and some game producers who are looking to start up a dev shop in Perth or Melbourne. The interesting thing is... they are looking for Python programmers!
In fact, Python dominated a lot of the conversation. People are really waking up to the productivity gains a high level language like Python can provide. I've been asked to provide a demonstration of 2 or 3 games I've worked on (tommorow, at a local University), and the technology behind them. Should be fun!
