Why are we still relying on government funding to tell our own stories? Screen Australia just handed out $1.4 million to local developers for 26 projects focusing on “Australian stories and ideas.” Really? Is this the best we can do? This money could be better spent supporting projects that push boundaries and challenge norms, not just recycling the same tired narratives that often lack creativity and innovation. As someone who loves our culture and believes in our storytellers, it frustrates me to see funding go to projects that feel safe and uninspired. We deserve bold narratives that reflect the diverse voices of our society! Let’s stop accepting mediocrity and demand more from those entrusted with our stories. https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/screen-australia-hands-out-1-4-million-to-local-developers #AustralianStories #GameDevelopment #CreativeFunding #InnovationNeeded #StopMediocrity
