Welcome to Clarence's info on Baton Rouge's Video Game Software Development Industry. This is located at www.cajunradio.org/batonrougevideogameindustry.html Baton Rouge is gearing up to be the latest hot spot for the industry of software development of video games. Baton Rouge is the host for the annual "Red Stick International Animation Festival". It is held in downtown Baton Rouge, Louisiana. You can find out more about the festival at www.redstickfestival.org Baton Rouge also hosts the LouisiANIME Japanese Animation Festival. Part of the reason why the video game software development industry is growing in Baton Rouge is because of the work taking place at Louisiana State University. The LSU departments that deal with this industry are www.lcat.lsu.edu/ and www.cct.lsu.edu Another reason why the video game industry is growing in Baton Rouge is the wealth of quality computer programmers graduating from our colleges and universities here in Baton Rouge. We are the home of LSU, Southern University, and the Baton Rouge Community College. Also, the State of Louisiana has recently embarked on an aggressive tax elimination program that entices the motion picture industry to this area. www.lafilm.org . As a result, one of the spinoffs of the motion picture industry is the technology involved in the video game development industry. The Louisiana Legislature has created an awesome tax incentive package to entice the video gaming software development industry to Louisiana. The legislative bill that passed was commonly refered to as the Digital Media Bill. This is excellent for Louisiana and will provide many high paying jobs for our young adults coming out of our universities with computer programming degrees. There is an organization for game developers called the Student Video Games Association of Baton Rouge at www.svgagames.com There is also a Baton Rouge Chapter of the International Game Developers Association. Video Game Software Programming Industry, Digita Media Industry Companies: The Video Game Software Programming industy is a fast growing segment of Baton Rouge jobs. Baton Rouge is benefitting from the Digital Industries tax breaks that Louisiana implemented a few years ago.
