With the event's future dependent on funding from Creative Vic, Freeplay risks needing to scale back the event significantly.

Applications are now open Screen NSW's Digital Games Seed Development Program, offering grants of up to $30,000 to help bring new games to life.
This funding can support early development activities. Learn more here:

Once it started kicking off I told my husband that I would be doing this if I were living in America - and access to medication, rights, (mis)information and medical care has only gotten worse since then, so I would expect to see the numbers grow
