From Malta to the Unity stage.
This week, Anvil Game Studios took to the stage at Unity‘s Brighton offices to share the story behind Holdfast: Nations At War, giving game developers an insight into the journey of building and growing a successful game from Malta.
During the session, the team shared the realities of game development, discussing the decisions that shaped Holdfast, lessons learned throughout production, and practical guidance drawn from years of experience. They highlighted the approaches that worked best, common pitfalls to avoid, and the challenges they would tackle differently when developing with Unity. It was an honest look behind the scenes from a studio that has spent years refining its craft.
Their invitation to speak at Unity is another important milestone, recognising both the studio’s achievements and the talent within Malta’s growing game development sector. It also reflects the ambitions of Malta Vision 2050, supporting local talent, creating high-value careers, and strengthening Malta’s position as a home for game development.
As Malta continues to strengthen its game development ecosystem, building technical skills remains a key priority. Industry experience, paired with recognised Unity certifications, helps aspiring developers validate their knowledge, strengthen their portfolios, and prepare for careers in game development.
Congratulations to the entire Anvil Game Studios team for representing Malta and sharing their experience with the game development community.
