I didn't even know that my country made games lmao, here's what I found

There's a topic exactly like this one, but it's old, forgotten and buried... Just like me.

They made quite a few games around my area, including Argentum Online and Malvinas 2032.

If I remember right, MoO4 was also made by an Argentinian studio.

Silicon Knights was in St. Catharines. That's the closest one I know.

Anything Vicarious Visions makes, if they're still in NYS.

I'm about an hour away from Bethesda Game Studios. If you need me to meme on Todd for you, in person, send me what you want on the poster board. I'll camp out the HQ for a whole day

Did you know?? Videogames are an international affair!

It's true! Whilst we mostly hear about the happenings of studios and publishers based out of Japan and North America, there's videogames being made all across the world. And that includes....wherever the HECK you are! (I'm guessing???)

So what are some videogames that have been made in YOUR continent/country/region/city/town/street?? Do they make you proud? - or would you rather nobody associated you with their ilk?? We accept everything from AAA, to bedroom programming indie folk! Is your home responsible for a big hitting blockbuster franchise - or maybe just a lesser known RPG Maker shitpost? WE WANT TO KNOW!

BONUS POINTS, if you've ever interacted with any developers first hand - what were they like?
DIFFERENT BONUS POINTS, if you yourself are involved in the industry - whether that's chipping away at a Godot project on the weekend, sleeping on the floor of a far-too-expensive-to-rent office space as a codemonkey during crunch, or engaging in the thankless task of QA.

ofc I appreciate you might not want people to know EXACTLY where you're based - but feel free to use this thread as an opportunity to shine a light on devs a little closer to home!

I found out pretty recently SNK has a hq up in New Jersey. Been there since 2003. I live nowhere near it though, I've never heard of Wall, NJ

The obvious one would be that I grew up extremely close to the Midway offices (still live near Netherealm Studios :3). Technically Oni was the one and only game made by Bungie's Chicago studio before they folded it to have everyone work on the same games again. I'm sure there are a couple more high profile midwestern studios but I can't really think of any, at least not in the northern Illinois area.

I also lived about 30 minutes from Epic Game's headquarters in North Carolina for some time. Visited there once in 2018, it was neat!

Not near me, but in my country. Scorn! Although we do have an ubisoft office and a team did work on Tom Clancy's Wildlands, i dont know if i can include it...

GTA Chinatown Wars was made near where I lived at the time
