Enrique was born in Zaragoza in 1996 and is a Spanish video game developer, educator, and entrepreneur. He is primarily known for being the co-founder and CEO of Entalto Studios, a video game development and publishing company based in Zaragoza, and for his work as a video game design professor at San Jorge University (USJ). His work encompasses development, publishing, and porting, with a focus centered on bridging the gap between independent creators and a broader audience.
His professional career began in 2015 when he co-founded 4FreaksFiction, the first student-managed video game development junior company in Spain, created under the umbrella of USJ. There, he gained his first experience in leadership and design, launching small projects such as NakedMan VS The Clothes in 2017. After briefly working with Fraxel Games in Málaga, Martínez returned to Zaragoza to launch Entalto Studios in 2020 alongside the same team from his previous company. The studio was quickly selected by the Lanzadera and PlayStation acceleration program, laying the groundwork for its first major release.
The title that consolidated Entalto arrived in 2021 with NeonHAT, a fast-paced virtual reality arcade game for PlayStation VR and PS4. The game made headlines for including multiple languages, including Aragonese, making it the first professional video game to support this minority language. That same year, Martínez and his team won the official Vampire Jam organized by Paradox Interactive with Vampire: The Masquerade - Heartless Lullaby, a narrative-driven project that was later released on Steam as part of the World of Darkness universe. In 2022, the studio launched Grabitoons!, a party game for PC and Nintendo Switch, and won the DeVuego Award for Best Spanish Studio of the Year.
Under Martínez's leadership, Entalto Studios evolved into Entalto Publishing, expanding into publishing, co-development, and porting for other studios. Since then, the company has backed several independent projects, including Manitas Kitchen, Stickin’ the Landing, Two Strikes, and The Alighieri Circle: Dante's Bloodline, bringing these titles to PC and consoles. This diversification has positioned Entalto as a key player in the Spanish indie scene, with a reputation built on fair and transparent collaborations.
Alongside his business ventures, Martínez has been teaching video game design at USJ since 2022, sharing his experience with a new generation of developers. He has been an active voice in regional media, participating in interviews and industry debates where he emphasizes the growing potential of the video game ecosystem in Spain. He has often described the current moment as "the true golden age of Spanish software," highlighting both the challenges and opportunities faced by independent creators.
Today, Martínez remains at the helm of Entalto Studios and Entalto Publishing, managing a catalog that encompasses original development, publishing deals, and technical services. With a growing catalog and an international presence, his work represents a fusion of creative passion, business strategy, and a firm belief in the collaborative spirit of video game development.
As a developer his most common role is Designer. He has participated in five spanish video games, being some of the most important Grabitoons! (Entalto Studios, 2022), where he has been Designer or NeonHAT (Entalto Studios, 2021), where he has been Designer too . Also took part in other video games like Stickin' the Landing (Adrift Team, 2024), where he took part as Producer, and NakedMan VS The Clothes (4FreaksFiction, 2017), where he took part as Designer.
