Rime developer talks about Spain’s struggle to grow in games

Companies like Tequila Works, the maker of games such as Rime and Deadlight, are trying to put the gusto in game development in Spain.

The country has more than 480 video game companies with about 4,460 employees, according to a 2016 white paper by a Spanish tech university and several government groups.

Spain was also the No. 2 country in game job postings in a survey by Indeed.com.
