Some quotes: “We were pleased to take part in this important roundtable and contribute to shaping the future of the games sector in Moray. It’s exciting to see the growing recognition of the industry’s impact locally, and we’re proud to be part of efforts to expand opportunities, create high-quality jobs, and ensure Moray continues to thrive as a hub for game development.” – Andrew Mulholland, Director @ Hunted Cow Studios Ltd
“HexWar Games was founded in Elgin because of the depth of game development talent and the potential to help students migrate from UHI Moray and into full time game development jobs. From small beginnings we have been able to produce games that are used for the global enjoyment of wargamers, aiding training of professional military educators within NATO, and pushing the envelope on cutting edge AI wargaming research” – Fred Jefferiss @ HexWar Games
“What Code Wizards, HexWar Games, and Hunted Cow Studios have built here in Moray is hugely impressive, building and supporting chart topping games “Incredibly, most people in Moray are probably not even aware that we have such a strong gaming presence here or that it is such a big success story, and we certainly need to do more to celebrate that. ” – Richard Lochhead, Minister for Business, Scottish Parliament
