Refresh my town’s culture and economy through Video Games!
By Josh Hughes • Mar 1st, 2010 • Category: Dev NewsThe “Great Falls Video Game” project has a simple goal: reclaiming the future. Great Falls was founded over 100 years ago and, for many of those years, the economy was driven by the Anaconda Mining Company and Malmstrom Airforce Base. In the late 70’s/early 80’s, the Anaconda Mining Company closed, bringing the demolition of one of the city’s defining features, a 500 foot tall industrial stack. In the mid 1990’s, Malmstrom’s missions were severely cut back and more cuts are on the table.
What we aim to do is pitch Great Falls as the epicenter for the independent video games industry. We are working on making a tech demo of our game, Shattered Soul, which we will use to win a multi-million dollar contract with a major publisher to bring jobs and opportunities to our town–we will then use this momentum and work with the Great Falls Development Authority (www.gfdevelopment.org) to bring even more studios and companies here, giving Great Falls a new business and economic frontier!
