The Arcade hosts seminar and workshop sessions for the benefit of companies in the Victorian games industry.
These events are presented by independent, external advisors, Arcade patrons and international guests on topics such as skills development, planning, diversity, business intelligence and marketing. The purpose is to provide support and encourage growth of small game development companies by giving them access to relevant information, services and technology that would benefit their businesses.
If you are interested in attending or holding a workshop in The Arcade, please contact us for more information. The SMART Program aims to help early-career individuals have the opportunity to hotdesk out of The Arcade that might not otherwise have the financial means to attend. The intention of this program is to help foster the production of game development within the City of Port Phillip, create a more accessible entry point to our diverse game developer community and to assist in financial pipelines for marginalised or low income game developers.
We want to pave the way for the next generation of talented developers by facilitating access to the learning, networking and engagement opportunities that naturally occur within The Arcade. Over the last five years, The Arcade has run a successful student engagement program with universities that run top of the line game development courses, and their students that are undertaking their final year of game development study.
This has mutually benefitted both the partnering University and The Arcade by not only creating top tier graduates who become the first choice for hiring studios inside and outside but also spawning studios directly out of university. The program allows the partnering University to engage with The Arcade across a variety of on-site work, specialised events, natural networking and coordinated feedback sessions.
Located in the heart of South Melbourne, in the City of Port Phillip, The Arcade is a convenient short walk from the Number 1, the number 58 and the number 12 tram stops. Get stories of change makers and innovators from the startup ecosystem in your inbox. Please fill in this field.

Melbourne is home to The Arcade, Australia's only not-for-profit collaborative co-working space specifically for the digital games industry that was conceptualised by the Victorian Government to support game developers.
The city is also home to Freeplay, the world's longest-running independent games festival. In addition, in May , the Australian Government introduced a 30 per cent tax offset for local and international businesses that develop digital games in the country. Available from July 1, , the Digital Games Tax Offset will further provide an impetus for international developers to set up a games studio in Australia.
The market opportunity and growth of the global digital games industry have also opened up collaboration and growth opportunities.
For Indian games developers and studios, Victoria offers access to business partnerships, world-class infrastructure and complementary expertise and talent — all of which are critical to success. The prospect of leveraging grants, incentives and infrastructure support come as an added advantage. We have a seven step methodology in developing games.
We also develop games using Unity 3D as our game engine. We develop games on a work for hire basis with publishing partners, as well as creating our own games. We work on all of the major gaming platforms and specialize in creating new game concepts from scratch.
