■About the association
A professional home for game makers in Malta
An overview of the association, its purpose and the industry it serves.
01
Organisation overview
Malta Video Game Studio Association is an association based in Mosta, Malta, concerned with the video game development sector. It brings together, in purpose, the studios and individual professionals who design, build and publish interactive entertainment from Malta.
02
Organisational purpose
The association's stated purpose is to support a professional, collaborative and responsible game development community in Malta. Its formally adopted objectives are set out in its statute; until that document is published here, the descriptions on this website should be read as proposed wording.
03
Malta's creative and digital economy
Over recent decades Malta has developed a significant digital services sector alongside a lively creative scene. Game development draws on both: it needs strong technical talent and strong artistic voices. A small, connected island can be an advantage — people know one another, and good practice travels quickly.
04
Game development as a professional discipline
Making games is skilled, collaborative work that combines engineering, design, art, audio, writing, production and business. Treating it as a profession — with standards, career paths and fair conditions — benefits creators and players alike.
05
The potential role of an industry association
Industry associations elsewhere in Europe typically offer a meeting point for studios, a channel for sharing knowledge, a voice in conversations with education providers and public bodies, and a way to make local work visible abroad. These are examples of what such a body can do, not a description of services this association currently provides.
06
Collaboration, knowledge and skills
Studios in a small market often face the same questions: tools, publishing routes, funding, hiring and testing. Open conversation between peers — about what worked and what did not — is one of the most valuable things a professional community can offer.
07
Responsible and inclusive practice
The association supports creative work that respects players, team members and communities, and an industry open to people of all backgrounds, genders and abilities.
08
Transparency and communication
The association aims to communicate clearly and accurately. Information on this website is published only once verified, and the Transparency page lists which official documents are available.
