   Ep 474 - Defining Success While Enjoying the Process With Andrew Pappas

   I spend a lot of time talking about game development from the outside, but making my first tabletop game has forced me to experience some of that process for myself. In this episode, I'm sharing what I've learned so far, from defining the experience and scoping the idea down to deciding when business questions should enter the process and what success should actually look like. Because what I'm finding, is sometimes the real value isn't just in what you make, but what the process teaches you along the way. Episode Shownotes Link: https://rengenmarketing.com/474

   Ep 473 - Rethinking Indie Game Distribution with Dom Harris

   Indie developers have more ways than ever to reach players, but every new distribution channel comes with trade-offs around revenue, control, and player acquisition. So today, we're going to explore how studios can evaluate those trade-offs more strategically, with a closer look at web distribution and the economics of reaching new audiences, including where the web can complement traditional storefronts.

   Ep 472 - Is your game ready for a publisher with Heather Chandler

   Getting a publisher is not just about finding someone willing to fund or market your game. Your project, team, production plan, and expectations all play a role in whether a publishing partnership can actually work. In this episode, we explore what publishers are really evaluating when they consider a game, what makes a studio ready to work with, the different ways developers and publishers can structure a partnership, and the production challenges that can shape a game's path to release.
