Games land $2 million from OMDC

The latest round of the Interactive Digital Media (IDM) Fund recipients from the Ontario Media Development Corporation (OMDC) proves that games are top of mind, as the body hands out $2 million among 19 projects.

Nearly all the projects receiving funding span games across all platforms, from downloadable console (Tales from Space: Return of the Blobs, Drinkbox Studios; Sideway: New York, Playbrains) to PC (Hegemony 2: Caesar in Gaul, Longbow Digital Arts Incorporated; Supreme Ruler 1936, BattleGoat Studios) to iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad (Dark Incursion, Big Blue Bubble; Mega Run, Get Set Games).

A few non-game projects also landed OMDC money, including iThentic’s Guidestones web series (website and iPhone app), TEACH Magazine’s e-learning website Project 1812.

The recipients were honored at an IDM Showcase Monday night at the TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto, along with demos of past fund recipients’ products.
