Industry job losses remain high, but are things getting better?

Have your say: Is the recession behind us?

The UK recently became the final G20 nation to escape the the recession, following the most severe global credit crisis in seventy years.

But still, nothing has seemed to curb the currently high levels of studio restructuring, workforce reductions and cancelled projects.

With this in mind, this week’s Develop Jury turns its focus to the business of making games. This week we ask:

Is the development sector through the worst of the recession?

Developers and industry members can send their answers to rob.crossley@intentmedia.co.uk, while the comments section below is open to all.

Deadline for email replies is end of play today.

We also encourage respondents to offer ideas on how studios can hold steady as the economy begins to recover.

There are obviously many approaches you can take in your response. We’ll collect and publish your answers on Thursday.
