How Vancouver is building the next generation of game developers
summary
Vancouver Economic Commission expands talent by training high‑school teachers, running studio tours and PD days and a student roadshow that links schools to hiring needs, claiming the region now needs thousands of positions across art, ops and finance. Mobile lowered indie costs after 2008 and tax credits help, while Vancouver helps half a dozen VR companies establish locally and positions VR for applied uses in education, health and film where games UX skills are essential.
