Publicaciones: DEV

The Spanish Association of Video‑Game and Entertainment Software Companies (DEV) publishes a series of white papers that map the national and regional video‑game development landscape. The flagship document, “Libro Blanco del Desarrollo Español de Videojuegos,” is released annually and draws on data collected through exhaustive surveys of Spanish studios conducted each year. The 2018 edition, for example, aggregates responses from over a hundred developers and presents key metrics such as employment figures, revenue distribution across platforms, investment trends, and export performance. Regional editions—Catalonia (2016, 2018), Valencia (2018), and Andalusia (2019)—focus on local ecosystems, detailing company composition, fiscal incentives, talent pipelines, and growth recommendations tailored to each community.

Additional publications include “Las 3D de la Financiación de Videojuegos,” which analyses capital supply and demand, and “Informe Incentivos Fiscales,” outlining tax incentives for the sector. All reports are produced with DEV’s collaboration with cultural and economic institutions, ensuring methodological rigor through structured questionnaires and cross‑validation against public data. The scope covers Spain’s entire video‑game development sector, with granular breakdowns by region and platform. The documents serve stakeholders such as policymakers, investors, educational institutions, and media, offering actionable insights into market size, investment needs, and policy impact. The consistent annual cadence and regional depth position DEV’s white papers as authoritative references for understanding Spain’s evolving game‑development economy.
