Welcome to Game Republic
Game Republic is an industry-led games network for the Yorkshire and Humber region. As well as being a great place to live and work, this north of England county boasts one of the world's top-performing regions for games development, with such talented companies as Rockstar Leeds, Sumo Digital, Team17, Tuna and Revolution Software within our borders.
At Game Republic our sole aim is to create more games business for Yorkshire, hosting regular networking events, supporting companies with PR and marketing, assisting companies travelling to international events and more.
We're also passionate about creating better links between academia and the industry, with past events including "AI & Avatars" in association with the University of Bradford and the hugely successful Student Showcase, which this year took place at the University of Huddersfield on Tuesday 25th May.
In 2007, Game Republic was fully integrated into Screen Yorkshire, allowing the games sector in the region access to Screen Yorkshire's strategic investment funds.

Screen Yorkshire and Northern Net would like to invite you to 3D In Your Face, to hear the latest about 3D developments from the leading industry experts. Network and see the latest technology demos in games, film, TV and interactive media.
From Streetdance 3D and Avatar to 3D gaming and Sky's new 3DTV channel, all content producers and platforms are investing in and developing these technologies. 3D has recently taken over the cinema with Avatar, Bolt, Alice in Wonderland, Monsters vs Aliens and 3D TV will be in living rooms from this autumn. Nintendo has unveiled its 3DS and Playstation 3 now supports Stereoscopic 3D.
The UK needs to be at the forefront of this game changing technology and we want freelancers, businesses and students from across the North to understand these technologies and developments.
