The Australian Interactive Games Fund (AIGF) was announced back in 2012. Managed via Screen Australia (the Australian Federal Government’s key funding body for the local film and television industry), the fund began operating 12 months ago. The purpose of the AIGF was to provide a helping boost to the Australian game development community, providing financial assistance for business growth and encouraging the crafting of new intellectual property that could remain Australian-owned rather than disappear up the sleeve of an international publisher.
Some developers have been able to secure funding through Screen Australia in the past, prior to the introduction of the AIGF. But for the most part before the AIGF was created the Australian game development industry received virtually no support from the Federal Government.
