Game Plus Adelaide Team Wins Elevate Award At SAGE 2026

A huge congratulations to Omni Studios, a team based in Game Plus Adelaide and made up of AIE Game Business graduates, who won the prestigious Elevate Award at SAGE (South Australian Games Exhibition) last week for their game The Last Library, a third-person high fantasy rogulite set in a city where the inhabitants have lost the ability to read or write.

The Elevate Award includes $1,000 in legal services from games industry specialist Cam Rogers Legal, and Omni hope that the recognition gained by taking out one of the state’s top prizes will help increase awareness and opportunities for their game, which they’ve only been working on for roughly eight months.

“We hope that the award will open up some opportunities for us to hopefully make some things easier in production of our game”, co-founder Fabian Tunn says. “Maybe it makes us more desirable as candidates to receive a grant, or maybe more people will want to work with us to deliver our game. The main thing I think it has done, at least for me, is to show us that people do like what we are working on, and that they want to see us succeed in what we are doing, which is an amazing thing to know. Money can help make development easier, but knowing that people are in our corner, backing us and encouraging us is something that drives us to continue doing what we are doing.”

You can follow The Last Library’s development at the team’s website and Instagram page.

Congratulations are also in order for other Game Plus Adelaide studios nominated for awards, like Half Giant, Paper Cactus and Royal Reign, who were all up for Most Impactful Studio (which Half Giant won), while Bad Plan’s Chad Habel was nominated for Community Impact. Other Adelaide teams, like Towerpoint and The RnD Department (whose game Toya won the Elevate award in 2025!), were also featured as selections for the show:
