Event: Next Week, Tuesday 31st March 2009. A free event from 6:30pm to 8pm at the State Library of Victoria, Melbourne.

Dissecta presents Damian Scott, founder and CEO of Primal Clarity and lecturer at Swinburne University of Technology, along with one of the Dissecta team members, Aaron Styles (previously working at Infinite Interactive), who is currently working on his own independent game which he hopes to get out to market in the future, to provide us with an insight into the scope and potential that the Australian independent game development scene has to offer.

In this session, Damian Scott will discuss the topography that faces independent developers, and he will outline his belief that the time is ripe for independent design collectives to bolster traditional game development studios with a suite of pre-production services to maximize the creative and commercial success of their products, whilst funding their own development.

In support of Damian's presentation, Aaron will provide an insight into what he is experiencing and the progress he is making in his efforts to produce his own game and the initiatives already established at tsumea.com in creating teams of inde developers. Demonstration units will be onsight to see what the guys are working on currently.

Booking: this is a free event but booking is essential via the State Library booking link. For booking enquiries please call 03 8664 7099. Please also check out some of the other video game related activities scheduled at the State Library as part of their 'Press Play' series including the "Get into Video Games - Play Session" on the 7th of April.

Venue: Experimedia, State Library of Victoria, 328 Swanston Street, Melbourne. Join us for coffee after the presentation.
