Championing and Celebrating Game Makers

SAGA’s goal is to grow the South Australian games industry into the largest state games sector in Australia. For its inaugural year SAGA is boosting community events and kickstarting state initiatives to bolster a strong presence in the thriving local games scene.

  • To promote the South Australian game development community in-person and online.

  • To hold events in South Australia that strengthen connections and share knowledge in the game development community.

  • To support and champion the success of the South Australian game development community.

  • To be the SA contact point for the game development community.

  • To assist in raising the profile of the game development community in South Australia and beyond.

All our initiatives must align with these goals, so we can best support our local game dev community.
