A SIMPLE HELLOAbout 20 seconds

Where can we say g’day?

Leave your name and email and we’ll get in touch. You can tell us about your project next, if you like.

Tell us what you own. We’ll explore whether there’s a fit, then put any offer, its currency and its terms in writing.

Colourful project folders and a kookaburra, full of new possibilities.

What’s different for New Zealand

NZ dollars, NZ law.

01

Paid in NZ$

Figures elsewhere on this site are in Australian dollars. Offers to New Zealand owners can be made in New Zealand dollars, with the currency agreed in writing.

02

Privacy Act 2020

Workspace archives and any personal information are handled under the Privacy Act 2020 and its information privacy principles, and scrubbed before delivery.

03

Copyright Act 1994

New Zealand copyright law has no specific exception for training AI on other people’s work, so licensing directly from the owner is the clear path.

For NZ studios

Running a New Zealand studio?

New Zealand studios have shipped a lot of good games. If you have source projects, systems or 3D source your studio owns, we’d like to hear about them. See what we look for in games.

We don’t have a New Zealand number yet. Call Pasha on +61 457 342 988, or book a call at a time that suits you.

A little look. A clear next step.

    Consider an offer

    If there’s a fit, we put the scope, rights, intended uses and payment in writing. You decide whether to proceed.
