Dan Golding, Taylor Hardwick, and myself have throughout this year been working on this research project for Creative Australia to map the size and scope of the Australian game music sector. We did a heap of interviews and a big survey, and discovered a heap of stuff about how composers and musicians are working with game developers across Australia.

We've now published a huge report, that you can download and read for free. It's about Australia, but I imagine will be just as interesting/valuable for understanding how these dynamics work globally, too.

At long last, after literal years of challenges and delays (journal's fault, not the authors'), the SURVIVING WHITENESS IN GAMES special issue of Journal of Games Criticism is now published in full. *14* incredible articles on games and race from a variety of different perspectives.
