Industry Survey - Studios
Hi Guys,
If you:
Run a game development studio,
Are a contractor that works for a game dev studio, be it as an artist, sound guy, programmer, designer, whatever
Can you please fill in this survey? (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1-r8qFGcaLdoClMfmWUkLgYEFA8T3jZHoYjj_1WHnncA/viewform?usp=send_form)
If you are an employee, please do not fill it!
We need this to act as a benchmark and to appease our government overlords (also it will really help MGSA out). This will be followed up with a more detailed version and other surveys looking at employees specifically.
Apologies for the roughness of the survey but time is of the essence.

Any chance of posting some of the stats online? (if the stats aren't needed to remain semi-secret for other reasons).
Value of the industry in 2013 = more or less R30million
Industry has 222 Jobs, both full time and contract
He said: Which is probably a sneaky way of saying everyone who isn't a white dude. He should probably be in marketing :P.
Unless you're assuming that all females are white, so then you can add the female demographic to the non-white demographics.
I suspect that he meant "not (white males)" as opposed to "(non-white) males", so the "over a quarter" statistic includes white females and all non-white people.
That's pretty much what I just said.
The problem is this statement you can't really group females with race, because that's not an either or sum. You can be female and be non-white too.
Currently we have women only as 16.4%
And races represented in a total of 13.06%.
Which means that more fairly the statement needs to be that we have 83% male representation in our industry based on the survey and 87% white representation in the industry based on the survey.
That's not quite even a quarter - so let's not go patting ourselves on the back just yet :P
I'd like to add that this does not necessarily reflect the views of the committee members and people involved in the collection, collation and/or presentation of the data gathered.
It's a maths problem, not a minority/oppressed group problem. :)
If they did just add the 16% and 13% together, I suspect they would have said "almost a third" instead ;)
@dammit, I actually misunderstood where the confusion lay completely, my bad.
