I hate Canadians... with their beady little eyes and their flapping heads!

only one way to find out...

call ''em, then call ''em again, and then call ''em again, and then...

To the vast majority of mankind, nothing is more agreeable than to escape the need for mental exertion... To most people, nothing is more troublesome than the effort of thinking.

I don't know what these people are talking about, but there are literally hundreds of indie game developer companies in Toronto.

Here is a link to an article:

That being said, here is a list to get you started:

DreamCatcher, Magitech, Pseudo Interactive Inc, Global Star Software, Microforum International, Bedlam Games, Groove Media, Rune Entertainment, Transgaming Technologies, Koei Canada Inc, Capybara Games, Social Game Univers, Time Play Entertainment, Alt.Software Inc

I think Ubisoft and Rockstar have studios in Toronto as well.

It seems a lot can happen in TEN F*CK*NG YEARS.

I didnt notice the time stamp until the last post. Its nice to know the general attitude of the internet hasn't changed in ten years though.

Wow, it's funny I didn't check the origianal time stamp and ( as I live in Toronto ) I was going to jump in do it's defense, as in the last few years a number of studios have opened up in Toronto. Previously Toronto was mecca for 3D graphics. Basically everything except 3D studio Max was made either in Toronto ( Alias ( Maya/PowerAnimator ) , Side FX ( Houdini ) ) or Montreal ( Softimage/Avid ), but games were pretty much lacking. Montreal had literal boom, with Ubisoft opening up there, followed by some incredible tax breaks ( like, 10 years tax free! tax breaks ) lead to EA and others opening up there. Toronto's rise was a bit slower, but Digital Extremes opened an office here, as did Rockstar and a few others.


In those 10 years though, Autodesk bought @#$@#$ing everybody, so I am not sure how much CG work is still here in Toronto. I imagine quite a bit, as after California and BC, it is probably the biggest film location in the world. Just down the road from me on Lakeshore are about 5 km of just movie lots.

I'm moving this to Breaking In, because I assume Voytek asked because he wants to apply to Toronto developers.

Voytek, use gamedevmap and gameindustrymap to look up Toronto developers. And I have more sites where you can research companies -- see [url="http://www.sloperama.com/advice/links.htm"]my Game Biz Links page[/url].

There was a lot of flaming and such in this thread. If it doesn't stay civil, it'll be closed.

If Voytek still hasn't found a video game company in Toronto then he's doing something wrong.

Me, neither.
It's not nice to necro ancient threads (speaking to whomever did that).
Closed.
