Before he was the CEO of Tower Studios (https://www.tower-studios.co.uk/), Jon Hare co-founded Sensible Software, which ruled the 16-bit game charts with the likes of Mega-lo-mania, Cannon Fodder and Sensible Soccer. After eight years, the spiritual successor to the latter, Sociable Soccer, finally released to Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1914290/Sociable_Soccer_24/) last month, with console editions soon to follow. John talks about the long journey from Apple Arcade, the problems of visibility in a saturated market, and what it takes to remain at the top of your game.

Kim Parker Adcock
Kim Parker Adcock has been working in games recruitment for more than 30 years and thinks 2023 has been one of the worst periods in the industry's history for jobs. The founder of One Player Mission (https://opmjobs.com/) and vice chair of Safe In Our World (https://safeinourworld.org/) is also confident that the industry will soon bounce back and that, with the right help and support, people living with or in fear of redundancy can soon feel hopeful again – as she did when establishing OPM 25 years ago after finding herself unemployed and homeless.
