Sydney
godlike master sticky
My girlfriend might be going to do her Master of Arts in Sydney and asked if i would come with her if it really would happen, so i thought i might just ask here if someone knows interesting studios in Sydney or Surrounding, i don't know anything of the australian market.
And how complicated will it be to work there, heard of something like a point system to apply and artsy jobs don't have many points.
before really getting into thinking of it i'd like to read something of dudes living there, knowing how it works, maybe also intruders from good old europe with their experiences

- i was also thinking, if you have a rounded technical proficiency in modelling, animation and all that jazz - you could look into actual teaching/tutor positions at the sydney tek colleges they have there (like Quantm or AIE, or even sydney uni arts)
thanks
In Australia, you main game development meccas are Melbourne and Brisbane. Theres Irrational in Canberra which would seem to be a good studio for someone of your talent. Its a fair way from Sydney, but closer than Brisbane and Melbourne.
I've lived in Sydney for a short period of time and during my time there, I really disliked it. Mind you this was many many years ago, so things may have changed and improved since then. The traffic is a mess, it just seems like such chaos in Sydney.
Bit of trivia, Sydney is the gay capital of Australia
Good luck with what ever you decide to do, mate.
