Quote (links added by us):

Xona Games of Yarmouth is one of Nova Scotia's many small successful start-up companies. Twin brothers, Matthew and Jason Doucette, develop internationally recognized video games for Xbox, PC, and Android devices.

"Nova Scotia is a competitive player in the gaming sector due to its skilled workforce and provincial support," says co-owner, Matthew Doucette in a media release. "We started Xona Games in our hometown of Yarmouth because we were born and raised there. However, the provincial support has equipped us with as many, if not more, opportunities than anywhere else in the world. It has helped us, even pushed us, to participate in top international gaming conferences which puts our company and games on the world map."
