A look now at what's driving the year-on-year successes of Kiwi game developers.
This year's annual survey from the New Zealand Game Developers Association put the industry's pre-tax income at $759 million - up 38 percent on the year before.
That's creating jobs - the workforce grew by nearly 30 percent to around 1418 jobs this year.
Yesterday Screen Wellington hosted the Creative Tech Summit which brought together gaming and screen execs to talk about how best to maintain the sector's momentum.
Among those speaking last night was Kate Edwards - she was a geopolitical strategist for Microsoft, worked on more than 200 games and was executive director of the International Game Developers Association.
Her latest venture is an app that called SetJetters. She joins Kathryn with her views on why New Zealand's creative games scene is doing so well and what could help supercharge it.
