It then delves into the creation of videogames in Chile, which now has 33 firms with sales for over 13 million dollars a year, and describes aspects of these firms, as well as the process of creation of a videogame. Finally, it presents the fundamentals that led to the creation of the major in Engineering in Videogame Development and Virtual Reality at Universidad de Talca, initiative that seeks to provide Chile with skilled human capital.
