Recently, we had the pleasure of welcoming our Minister, the Hon. Penny Simmonds, to PikPok. During the visit, we shared the technology behind our games, introduced the team, and walked through our in-depth Industry 101 presentation to highlight the opportunities, challenges, and impact of game development in New Zealand. It was a great opportunity to have constructive conversations about our industry and the role New Zealand studios play globally. Thank you to Minister Simmonds and her team for taking the time to visit. We look forward to continuing the conversation. #NZGamedev #NZTech
