Behind the Games Podcast

The People Are The Studio – Behind The Games chat with Hector Padilla of IO Interactive

https://www.newoverlords.com/the-people-are-the-studio-behind-the-games-chat-with-hector-padilla-of-io-interactive/

Many game studios are having a moment right now where they need scale, and to learn to be better, more professional companies. IO Interactive has this figured out with leaders like Hector Padilla, a people manager at IO Interactive. IOI is the game studio that makes the Hitman series and soon a new 007 game. Hector focuses on making teams work together while developing all these great games. We talk here about an inside view of IO Interactive and Hitman, how to run a studio like a mature company, how to connect teams and people, and a little about the future of gaming. Thanks Hector and IOI!
