VIDEO GAMES MADE IN CENTRAL AMERICA: STORIES, INTERVIEWS, AND THE HISTORY BEHIND THE REGION'S VIDEO GAMES
Victoria "Cataxis" Pérez
Video Games Made in Central America is an intimate and collective exploration of video game development in one of the most overlooked regions of the American gaming industry. Through a combination of interviews, personal accounts, studio profiles, challenges, and triumphs, this book traces the unexpected paths through which game development has taken shape in countries such as Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, and Belize.
Over a year and a half of research and direct conversations with developers, artists, musicians, programmers, and dreamers, this work brings together the voices and contexts that have shaped an emerging, colorful scene deeply rooted in its territories. Here, readers will find not only names and dates, but also anecdotes, lessons learned, and visions for the future of an industry that, despite emerging amid technical and economic limitations, continues to flourish through creativity and resilience.
Moving away from traditional academic writing without sacrificing rigor or depth, this book embraces a lighthearted, approachable, and human narrative that invites readers to discover the people creating video games from the heart of the tropics. You will encounter games inspired by Indigenous folklore, political satire, studios that began in internet cafés, and projects that challenge our assumptions about what can emerge from the center of the continent.
Because worlds are being created in Central America, too.
