As well as courting a reputation as a proving ground for forward thinking educational methods and government policies, Scotland has risen to become a vanguard for the progression of the games industry.

Home to big hitters like Rockstar North and Realtime Worlds, Scotland also hosts a number of unique industry events such as the NeON festival, counts prolific smaller studios including Axis amongst its residents, and handles innovative initiatives such as Dare to be Digital.

All this week, Develop will bring you in-depth analysis of the country’s games industry, and look closely and the people, organisations and events that make Scotland an pioneering, productive and powerful member of the international games making community.
