Canadian Game Development?

PsyCHo puNk · 2002-08-12T23:39:57

Doesnt anyone know of any canadian game development companies? I''ve been looking at many sites which have job listings in the game industry, but I haven''t seen a single one in Canada (I''m from Ontario close to Toronto). The only canadian game development company I know of is Bioware(makers of Baldurs Gate) in Alberta. I''m not actually looking for a job yet, but I''m trying to see whats out there and at least plan ahead for my future a bit now like things as if I might eventually need to look for a job outside of Canada or whether I should consider starting up my own company. Also lately I have been trying to get advice as to what is a good way to go about learning assembly language (its not offered at my college). I have some electronics background and some basic knowledge of processor architecture anyone know of any good ASM books(all I could find at chapters was a very old book)? Any advice would be appreciated..

Lots of good studios in Canada, don''t forget about all the ones mentioned plus Piranha Games in Vancouver.

Of course, many of the best studios here are getting bought by American publishers. Barking Dog (Homeworld: Catalclysm) just got picked up by Rockstar Games (GTA3), and are to be known as Rockstar Vancouver. Bioware was just bought by Microsoft. How come the only publisher we have in Canada is crappy Dreamcatcher??

Stragegy first is a decent publisher, I believe.

Other canadian companies missed:

DC Studios in Montreal

and, of course,

Silicon Knights in Ontario

Where did you hear that Microsoft spent some cash on Bioware?

Check out the news at Gamespot. They''ve not just put money into it...they''ve outright bought the place.

I think it was more of just an agreement to create a X-Box only title, they didn''t buy them.
