The policy discussion paper submitted to Forfas on behalf of gamedevelopers.ie is now online..feel free to comment on it here on the forums – it is a starting point but proved useful in terms of structuring my discussions with Forfas staff last week here in Dublin.
TIGA, the independent game developers association in the UK, is actively lobbying to expand the R&D tax credit system in the UK to include the entire game development process. I would say it is worth keeping an eye on.
