Mistake Notice: They point to a close up of Jason and label it Matthew.
Maybe should have mentioned us both! (Hint!)

Matthew Doucette says the Yarmouth location for his and his brother’s video game company is what has given Xona Games its edge. “In a larger centre, we’d be a drop in a pond. But by staying close to our roots, we’ve managed to stick out enough to get the attention, recognition and support that helped take us to the next level.”

I don't even remember saying this, but I probably did! Credentials shared with Jason Doucette, lead programmer of our games. Link to full NSBI 2009/2010 Annual Report to come as soon as they post it online!
