As Gamesindustry writes.
The hiring situation in the country’s gaming industry is also improving. In 2016, 436 developers were employed in game development companies in Slovakia. By the end of last year, their number reached 762 people (40 of them are foreigners), and this year it may reach 900.
At the same time, it is unknown exactly how many gaming companies have opened in Slovakia over the past four years.
It should be noted that the country’s authorities financially support the local game dev. Since 2016, they have allocated $1.65 million to develop more than 90 games. Nevertheless, the world-famous hits in Slovakia have not yet been produced.
In February, it was reported about the opening of the Slovak studio Nine Rocks Games. It was founded by the publisher THQ Nordic from the Embrace Group holding.
The Czech Bohemia Interactive office was also located in Slovakia, which acquired the local studio Cauldron in 2014. The latter has developed at least a dozen games for PC and consoles.
