Spotlight Magazine

Portugal has a lack of centralized spaces that show the country's game-developing talents. That doesn't mean that we don't have talented people and projects all around our country doing their best to shine and push the envelope on how we showcase our games and game developers.With this large community of talented and ambitious people, there are plenty of projects that stand out, and others that are hidden but have the potential to succeed on a global scale. What is now needed is an increase in exposure to the great games that are developed here, the studios that are hiring and the projects that have longevity.
