The South Australian Game Exhibition (SAGE) returns to Adelaide Studios this year as the flagship event on the Adelaide Fringe Interactive program.

Presented by the South Australian Film Corporation, SAGE is a super showcase of South Australia’s video game development sector, with a huge range of locally made games on display to see and play. SAGE allows video game fans, players, enthusiasts and everyone in between to experience exciting new South Australian made games first-hand and meet the people behind them.

Building on the success of the inaugural event last year, SAGE 2024 has doubled in size with an extended program featuring:

·       34 total exhibitors across the main SAGE Showcase and new Elevate section, spread across both sound stages at the SAFC’s Adelaide Studios screen production facilities in Glenside;

·       Informative displays from partner organisations across industry, education and more;

·       A new Refuel Zone featuring food trucks and refreshments, and

·       A brand new “SAGE Advice” program of panel discussions featuring local game developers and national industry experts.

The 26 South Australian games studios and developers and their games selected for the main SAGE Showcase are:

·       Power up: Getting a job in game development –  presented by Big Ant Studios;

·       SA Great: South Australian games getting national support – presented by Screen Australia;

·       Education Pathways: Finding your way into a games career through education and training;
