The Asia Tech Podcast really enjoyed its conversation with Swapna and Nirmal David, the co-founders of Hobo Interactive.

Their journey, woven with the threads of world-building, storytelling, and a risk-taking entrepreneurial spirit, offers a captivating insight into the transformative power of gaming as a storytelling medium.

Some of the topics that Swapna and Nirmal spoke about in detail include:

  • The Power of Storytelling in Gaming
  • Gaming's Expansion Beyond Traditional Audiences
  • The Evolution of Gaming as a Community Experience
  • Building and Integrating Rich Worlds and IP Development in Gaming
  • Fearlessness and Creativity in Entrepreneurship
