While things aren't going well in other areas of the Australian Games Industry, Sydney-based developer Bubble Gum Interactive has secured $250,000 in Government funding according to Industry site MCV Pacific.

BGI has confirmed that it has received AUD$90'000 from the Screen Australia Innovation Program, which funds initiatives that are attempting to use new platforms or media, and AUD$155'000 from the Digital Media Initiative, which funds commercially oriented projects taking advantage of new digital media forms.

Meanwhile their game, Little Space Heroes, is currently taking beta sign-ups - if you sign-up now you'll score entry into the closed beta as well. The team at BGI has been cool enough to send us through a teaser trailer for their game - you can see from the video that it's definitely got a market in mind.

It's nice to see the Aussie dollar isn't hurting every aspect of the games industry - and even nicer to see the Government providing grants for video game development. Oh - and that's GA reviewer/previewer LeighH editing at MCV Pacific!

I see a few things.

Whats the country not too far from here thats just put out a curfew for kids under 16 to not be online?

Australia like them to start young it seems lol

I can't see young kids wanting to play MMO's sorry and yes I know young kids already play but lets be real the ones that do have parents that dont care what they buy them or what the kid does as long as it shuts them up.
