Chicago-based High Voltage Software has laid plans to open a new office in Louisiana next year, and will be taking advantage of local tax incentives (including the long-running Digital Media Tax Credit) to do so. This represents continued efforts on the part of Louisiana to attract game developers (and digital media companies in general) to the state.
