David Rodger,

join TIGA:
“TIGA
have shown great support during our transition into the games industry. Even
before becoming a member, Short Round Music was offered continual advice and
encouraged to have an active voice within the organisation. One of the main
reasons for joining TIGA is their understanding of all elements of the industry
including outsourcing companies such as ours. With their large UK network and
community we are looking to collaborate with other members in the near future.”
Dr Richard Wilson, TIGA CEO welcomed
the organisation to TIGA:
“Music is an important element of video
game development. Players’ enjoyment can be greatly enhanced by creative
compositions embedded within games. TIGA
