Dunedin’s game development industry has had a
strong start to 2021, with seven new and emerging local
studios revealing an exciting mix of entertaining and
serious game projects funded by the first New Zealand Centre
of Digital Excellence (CODE) grants. Details were released
at a CODE update and grants launch event in Dunedin
today.
Of the seven, the two Start Up production
funding recipients included:
Ōtepoti Games
Company Limited led by Kylie Jackson, funding of $146,586 to
develop the game Pae Moana.
Gfactor Technologies led
by Rhys Gardner, funding of $150,000 to launch CoDriVR, an
educational driving simulation game.

The Ministry of Education changed the number of credits required to pass University Entrance from 14 to 12, and lowered the number of credits for endorsement from 60 to 52. Beth said she found that time studying level 3 NCEA from home a challenge, especially completing internal assessments outside the classroom. While she said some of her friends had not been able to get onto the website on Thursday, a New Zealand Qualifications spokesman said they had no issues.
