Hey Sydney Australia, we want you to create more games.
Join the community that helps games take flight.
We support people that make & aspire to make games with the tools, knowledge & environment to grow and succeed.
A community that’s not just online.
If you make games or aspire to make them, find support & comradery on our Discord server.
If you’re in Sydney Australia, we also offer creative working space, workshops and events. We help you grow, succeed, and meet other like-minded people.
Supporting the people that make games.
We care about games, and the people that make them.
Let us introduce you to lessons and methodologies from disciples outside of game development, and provide you and your team the skills & support to work together more effectively.
Connecting developers to an audience.
We believe in fast iteration and putting content in the hands of real users, as early as possible. Your audience doesn’t just buy your game, they help make it better.
We provide access to an audience to help build awareness around your project, and facilitate productive playtesting and feedback sessions.
Projects we support
We support businesses to solve real problems in novel ways.
Video games might seem like fun and .. games, but it’s big business. Games succeed or fail on their ability to harness emergent technologies, but developers are not just on the forefront of technological innovation, we also lead the way on human centred design and usability. A decade before ‘UX’ were two letters we recognise next to each other, game developers were already focused on understanding the psychology of people, how they interact with products, and how to provide more pleasant and engaging experiences.
Talent management
You’re aware of the skill gaps in your organisation and have the capacity and want to bring those skills in-house. Let us help you find the ideal candidates.
We focus on developing skills & potential in young and aspiring developers - and through our community - can take the risk out of hiring for skill sets that may be outside of your organisation’s specific domain or your team’s experience.
Consultancy & staff workshops
You’d like to level up existing staff, or help your team organise in more effective (and frankly more enjoyable) ways. Let us bring our knowledge and experience of agile development, design thinking and product development into your office.
Product development
You’d like to change the world, and maybe your business, but aren’t sure you have the capacity in-house.
Leverage our experience in developing products and in bridging the gaps between technology & non-technical stakeholders. We’ll help you execute the innovative and forward looking projects you’d like to undertake.
Let us work with you to understand & define your idea, and translate it into something actionable.

A word from our founder
Games with Wings is a humble attempt to build community & raise the quality of interactive content created in Sydney Australia. I believe that there is an abundance of talent and a lack of support, particularly for aspiring and entry level games practitioners.
Our ambitions are to:
Connect & build empathy between developers and audience,
Introduce skills & knowledge from disciplines outside of game development,
Support & mentor individuals in professional & personal growth,
Support the production & release of locally made games,
With the goal of helping build a more sustainable, more successful games and creative technology industry in the Inner West, in Sydney, in New South Wales, in Australia.
We want to see more interesting games in the world, doing more interesting things, and we want you to be a part of it.
