Our Story

GameDev Australia was founded in 2015 by a group of passionate game developers who recognized the need for a dedicated resource hub for Australia's growing mobile game development community.

What started as a small blog has grown into a comprehensive platform offering resources, services, and community support to game developers across Australia. Our mission is to foster innovation, promote local talent, and help Australian mobile games reach global audiences.

Over the years, we've worked with indie developers, established studios, and educational institutions to strengthen Australia's position in the global mobile gaming industry.
