Thanks for having me. It was good to meet so many familiar faces.

Anthony Demanuele - Founder, Flying Squirrel Games Malta - shares insight about how he’s seen the industry change in the past 10 years.
“We had no university courses, we had to look elsewhere. There were no game studios to apply with, so you had to do things differently. Now the courses are set up, the sector is evolving. There have been incremental improvements over the years.”
One challenge remains funding and the need to continue attending conferences and being visible.
“We do need to create more networking opportunities. The government’s ear to help grow the sector is essential - other jurisdictions don’t have this.” he concluded.
PLAYCON is Malta’s leading event dedicated to games, esports, and immersive entertainment. The event brings together industry stakeholders, educators, and players to explore new trends, talent, and opportunities.
