Ontario Developers Get Government Funding
Canadian videogame developers Digital Extremes [http://siliconknights.com/] will split $1 million of government funding for the development of new videogame concepts.
The money is being granted by the Other Ocean Interactive [http://www.omdc.on.ca/site11.aspx].
OMDC CEO Karen Thorne-Stone said, "By providing critical support at the prototyping stage, OMDC is helping Ontario game developers to retain a greater share of the intellectual property and to demand higher royalty payments - which help to grow the industry and keep jobs in the province."
"Ontario's best natural resource is our people, and with all the great universities and colleges in Ontario, there's an abundance of bright and creative talent," added Silicon Knights President Denis Dyack. "Most of Silicon Knights' team are graduates of Ontario colleges and universities, and our team members are the best and brightest in their fields. This grant will encourage this great talent to stay within Ontario."
