The Games Industry in Ireland 2013 Report

    Hi all,

    In preparation for The Games Industry in Ireland 2013 report, I have completed my discovery stage of research, with lots of help across GameDevelopers.ie, Enterprise Ireland, Games Ireland, Invest NI and the IDA to identify games companies and development teams on the island of Ireland. I want to now see if there are duplicates or changes among the list of companies. And I was hoping that I could post on this forum to broaden our reach a bit more.

    With the main jobs survey to commence later in the year, I will begin to map out the industry across Ireland for all to see, and in order to build out the interactive map of Ireland, I need to identify the companies operating in the Irish games industry and their location(s) around Ireland.

    Each developer will have a database entry to put in information about themselves, games they publish, links to their websites, pr etc, if they so choose.

    I had missed a lot from Northern Ireland in the November report, but thanks to Twitter and Invest NI, we have gotten a large number of updates from there. This will allow me to now do a Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, and all-island datasets with this years report.

    Please note, this includes the entire supply chain and ancillary services, so a few of them will be taken away from all the devs. Also, if you could sticky this it would be great.

    So my list is as follows, all 160 of them
