Last September, Nanyang Polytechnic and Sony Computer Entertainment Asia held a five-year MOU press event in Singapore to renew their partnership. Recently, the school and the Media Development Authority of Singapore opened a new facility to cater towards startup game developers.
The centre will be called the Games Solution Centre and is located at Ayer Rajah Crescent, Singapore. The place is also home to Southeast Asia's first "PlayStation Incubation Studio", where game developers have access to development tools for the PS3, PSP, and PS Vita. Aubeck Kam, CEO of the MDA, said that the other partners for the creation of the centre include Autodesk and Hewlett-Packard Singapore.
He also said that the centre will benefit more than 500 game companies and developers over the next three years. While Sony Computer Entertainment Asia is the major sponsor, the centre also accepts developers focused on other platforms like the PC.
SCEA president Tetsuhiko Yasuda was at the ceremony as a special guest; check out GameSpot Asia's interview for more information. For more pictures of the place, visit GameSpot Asia's Facebook page.
