ABC serious game initiative

Screen Australia and ABC TV have partnered in an initiative to support the development of three games and the production of one game.

WHAT ARE THEY LOOKING FOR?

Games provide a powerful opportunity to communicate with a broad, contemporary audience, so Screen Australia and ABC TV want to give the opportunity to a range of media professionals to develop and produce a serious game.

They are looking for game IDEAS that address issues that may be in the field of society and culture, health, relationships, history, science, politics, or the environment. The game will explore this idea/topic in an imaginative, creative, entertaining and innovative way, with a strong game narrative and solid underlying educative aspect.

The creative collaboration of professionals with complementary expertise can engender an environment ripe for innovation.

They encourage multi-disciplinary teams, which might include:

1) a game studio, game/web developer, working with a
2) documentary/factual filmmaker, or screenwriter.

WHAT'S ON OFFER?

Teams will initially apply to attend a workshop from 12-14th July 2009 to further develop their serious game idea, with the assistance of international and local mentors.

Three teams will be selected for the workshop, and following it each team will receive $15,000 development funding to write a game design document based on their idea. The design documents will need to be delivered to Screen Australia/ABC TV within a two (2) month period of the workshop, along with a budget for full game production demonstrating the game is achievable for $325,000. One of these teams will then be selected to go in to full production of the game.

The completed game will be hosted by ABC online for a specified license period (see ABC License below).

The ABC and Screen Australia are in discussion with a number of other international public broadcasters to develop an international games portal to showcase serious games from the respective countries. Successful serious games developed by teams participating in this initiative will be eligible to be presented via the international portal.WHAT'S ON OFFER?
