The French evolution: digital reigns.(NEWS: DCC-EDUCATION)
The E-Magiciens festival in Valenciennes, France, always highlights the work of talented student animators, but this year, for its 10th anniversary, the city's Chamber of Commerce brought something new to the party. First, a new and separate conference, called E-Creators, that took place in nearby Lille. An outgrowth of last year's game development recruiting effort at E-Magiciens, E-Creators is a combination trade show and job fair that attracted video-game developers, design firms, animation studios, and others focused on digital creation.
Second, the French government announced that it designated the NordPas de Calais region, which includes Valenciennes and Lille, as a "region of excellence" for serious games. That spells money in the form of immediate grants to budding serious games developers, as much as 30,000 euros for prototypes and 150,000 euros for stage-two development. The Valenciennes Chamber of Commerce is spearheading the effort and is now soliciting proposals targeted toward applications in transportation, health, and civic law.
