About Micro Forté Pty Ltd

Welcome to Micro Forté!

We are a veteran game development studio founded by passionate game developers who have a strong desire to develop game titles for third party game publishers as well as creating our own intellectual properties and working with publishing partners.

During our 22 years in the games industry we have been fortunate enough to work with some great talent, as well as work for some fantastic publishers including: US Gold, Panasonic/Ripcord, Electronic Arts, Interplay, THQ, Universal Interactive and Microsoft. Our pride is in our ability to build a trusting relationship with our publisher and deliver titles on time and to budget.

Micro Forté spent a number of years focusing on building the BigWorld Technology platform for MMOG game development. Micro Forté have successfully completed this technology and spun it out as a separate middleware company called BigWorld Pty Ltd.

Not many game studios have done this sort of thing before; however, we felt that our unique focus and combined experiences would allow us to successfully develop this cutting edge technology. In successfully achieving this, we have created a new group of people focused on an area we identified as needing attention - namely highly scalable and well integrated MMOG middleware.

After the global success of the BigWorld Technology, Micro Forté have been free to focus on our next chapter - making some very compelling MMOG titles with the cool tech we have spent years perfecting!

Our major studio is in Sydney and we have a smaller development studio in Canberra. Micro Forté are currently developing some exciting new MMOG properties and are constantly recruiting the very best talent. We look for self-starters. People who can fit into our team environment, and who are able to contribute valuable ideas to a project. Essentially - very smart and talented individuals!

Micro Forté does employ some of the best Australian talent, and we do provide a fantastic game development culture with a strong working environment. We are fortunate that these days, we work on the projects we want to work on, including our current self-funded titles. If you want to work on a project that is truly unique and different then you should consider us!

Micro Forté have arguably taken the most active Australian industry development role over the last 10 years. While this has had some impact on our ability to deliver product after product onto the market, we have charted our own path and have really enjoyed the journey! Along the way, our CEO founded the Academy of Interactive Entertainment Ltd (AIE), Australia's leading educational institution for computer game developers, as well as founding the Australian Game Developers Conference and the Game Developers Association Australia, both have been key players in Australia's ever-growing interactive entertainment industry.

Today we are more focused on developing games for publishers and our own internal development projects . We are a small but very focused company that is built on trust and strong interpersonal values. It’s our values that have allowed us to remain as a development company for over 22 years, something that very few game studios can boast about. And yes, some of our core staff have been with us for 22 years – and this speaks for itself!

We hope that by taking the time out to read about us, you have discovered one of Australia's best kept secrets.

The Team at Micro Forté!
