Make Games South Africa (MGSA) is a community driven website and gathering point for aspiring South African game developers.
The group is now trying to get recognition from the Department of Trade & Industry (DTI) as the registered industry association for game development in South Africa.
“This will give us access to a whole host of funding programs for growing and strengthening the game development industry locally; including the SASS scheme which will let us send 20 game developers and artists to GDC in San Francisco in 2014,” MGSA explained.
“The DTI is now asking that we submit a list of “members signing their support and allegiance to the organisation, justifying why we should be approved as an Export Council, Industry Association or Joint Action Group”. We have created this survey for you to share your motivation and show your support,” said MGSA.
“Please take a few minutes to motivate why MGSA adds value to the game development industry in South Africa; and thank you for your support.”
