LET US PLAY IN SCOTLAND?

I have to admit it, when I was researching for the map of Scotland exposition, a lot of stereotypical ideas filled my mind like skirts and plenty of whisky, gaiters and read heads everywhere. It was hard to me not making prejudices along my investigation. When we were finding out new facts and information for the map, I read how wrong I was, so I had to use growth mindset.

When you think about video games you firstly think in the United States, but when you start to research famous video games companies, it is tremendously surprising! Scotland has them too. In fact, one of most famous and critics acclaimed games series and franchise, Grand Theft Auto (GTA), was developed in Edinburgh, Scotland, by Rockstar North Studios.

            One of my favourite video game, GTA, was Scottish. The first expression I said: I cannot believe it! Then I started to find which another video games were from Scotland and some of them are: Minecraft and Celtic Warriors. Also I found out that Glasgow has been one of the most recurrent host of video games festivals, which are popular and crowdie.

            Another fact I read was the inspiration of a big amount of video games for locations, such beautiful castles, deepest woods, high mountains and lakes like mirrors. All the landscapes are recreated in video games like Role Player Games (RPG), epic adventures, hack-and-slays and more. Also I cannot forget about the traditions, old weapons like swords and axes and traditional costumes.

            So, Scotland has an enormous potential for video games industries, it is an inspiration source for creating them and here you can be surrounded for creative people who share the same interests like me.
