The Winnitron AU was built entirely from scratch as a collaborative effort between members of the IGDA Melbourne group and members of the game development community. It was unveiled at the IDGA Open Mic night on the 12th July and was official launched alongside the Mana Bar Melbourne on the 16th.
The Winnitron AU also features 6 exclusive Australian independent video games, which will hopefully be available soon across the entire Winnitron network.
