Although we have all played video games, video games developed by Caribbean developers appear to have little or no visibility.

We circle back to a 2021 conversation we had with video game developers, Glen Henry, of Spritewrench Studios, and Graham Reid, of GrahamOfLegend, where they discussed the state of game development and the potential and opportunities in the Caribbean region, including: the economic benefits for Caribbean countries; the region’s strengths and weaknesses; the business of video gaming development; and advice for individuals who want to get into game development.
