This week, we talk about game jams, brands, and networking. Work the room, shake hands, and collect stories. The most valuable connections are the genuine ones — people who share your context and get what you’re doing. The open doors are a bonus.

In this episode, we discuss alignment, process shifts, and the power of a good hook. A good idea alone isn’t enough to stop the scroll, but an absurd twist on the familiar might do the trick! How do you turn a question like “how many dudes does it take to fight a gorilla?” into an irresistible design foundation?

In this episode, we discuss cuts, cuts, and more cuts. Cutting features is a critical part of shaping a game. Before launch, when you’re free from player expectations, you can step back and think about what’s working and what’s just in the way. It’s all part of iterating toward something better.

This week, we talk about game updates, publishing pain points, and shifting expectations. For a small indie, launching a game feels like a wild experiment. But with a bigger team, it’s a high-stakes balancing act, with company costs and momentum on the line. Still, with every launch, if you play your cards right, you just might hit the jackpot.

In this episode, we discuss the Crashlands 2 Update and the visibility tax. Marketing sounds easy: cut a trailer, toss up a post, and call it a day. But it’s more like lining up dominoes; the trailer, localized assets, subtitles, blog posts, platform timings all have to be stacked just right. Miss the timing and it all topples over. It’s not exactly chaos, it just feels like it.
