We're thrilled to announce that Moonjump has been selected as a recipient of the inaugural Canberra Screen and Games Fund, receiving early-stage game concept prototyping funding to support the development of our upcoming title.
The fund was announced today by Michael Pettersson MLA, ACT Minister for Business, Arts and Creative Industries, as part of a broader investment in Canberra's growing screen and games sector. We're proud to be among the local studios recognised in this first round alongside established names like Uppercut Games, Space Dragon Games, Anecdote Games, and WildBear Entertainment.
A huge thank you to Screen Canberra and CEO Holly Trueman for championing the local games industry and making this fund a reality. As Holly noted, the volume and quality of applications exceeded expectations — a testament to the depth of creative talent in our region.
“Supporting these industries helps Canberrans achieve careers here while growing our economy and showcasing Canberra’s stories globally.”
— Michael Pettersson MLA
This funding will go directly into prototyping and early concept development, helping us validate and refine the core ideas that will shape our next project. It's a meaningful vote of confidence in what we're building, and we don't take it lightly.
We'd also like to congratulate all the other recipients across games, film, and television — it's exciting to see this level of investment in Canberra's creative industries.
