In an update to the Vancouver video game development family tree I created a couple of years ago is my feature article in this week’s Georgia Straight.

In the article, I look at how the game sector in Vancouver is alive and well, but looks much different than it did even a year ago.

For some 20 years, Vancouver was a jewel in Canada’s video-game industry. It was home to the first Canadian companies that developed games, and as the interactive-entertainment sector grew, so did the studios in the Lower Mainland. Today, though, Vancouver is no longer the largest centre of video-game development in Canada.
