The last 18 months have been monumental for the local games industry, and for the world in general. It's a period that deserves analysis and celebration! In this lighthearted retrospective, GamesHub's Edmond Tran and Jini Maxwell take a look at the last year in the Australian games industry: the exciting releases, the policy shifts, the challenges, the highlights, and that one time a senator honked on the senate floor.

This talk will lay bare the key points of a year that nobody could have predicted, and the way that Australian games, and the people making them, responded. Join Edmond and Jini for a thorough retrospective followed by enthusiastic speculation about the recent past and future of Australian games.
