With this research, we aim to take a look on the digital games market as well as the courses related to professional training in this industry. This paper focus on showing the challenges found on courses that target the teaching and learning of entertainment computational products and that have laboratorial practices centered on the digital games industry. This research tackles technical courses, technologist level graduation courses, as well as post-graduations, university extension courses, and free courses in this area. We intend to investigate and reflect on the teaching and learning strategies and, mainly, to consider the implementation of practical tools and procedures, especially the DevKits – Digital Game Development Kits – that aim to initiate collaborative environments to develop digital games and, subsequently, their commercial viability. We touch on educational and practical aspects as teaching methods related to game production and tools used, as well as developing platforms: DevKit. We also intend to undertake studies on the technology domain involving game engines in addition to authoring, tridimensional images production, and graphic editorial tools. By means of qualitative and secondary quantitative researches (FEB Games e BNDES), and bibliographical review, the applied methodology evaluates the use and integration of alternative tools that can be matched to the ones used by the electronic game market.We intend, futhermore, to expand the knowledge base around the technology domain of said tools, reducing, that way, the educational institutions’ and game companies’ dependence in this country. We discuss matters such as: intellectual property, legal mechanisms, developing management, production processes, advertising and promotion approaches, and evaluation methods. We depart from the creative process, observe the interaction design related aspects, the technology issues and systemic compatibilities, and, finally, we discuss issues related to promotion and distribution. As a result, we suggest a teaching and learning methodology for digital electronic games
