Co-development is booming (read: more competitive than ever) as self-publishing has become more difficult and the economic landscape has made raising capital more difficult. In the latest episode of the Deconstructor of Fun podcast, Tim Bennison, COO of Hothead Games, dove into the realm of co-development in the games industry. Tim discussed the strategic shift many studios are making to manage risk and explore new opportunities. Provided insights on how to successfully pitch and re-pitch projects. And shared key principles such as honesty, transparency, and effective communication that drive successful co-development projects. Furthermore, he emphasized the importance of understanding partner needs and outlined the often-overlooked, but crucial element of properly papering business terms in co-development agreements. This discussion is a must-listen for both studios engaged in work-for-hire as well as companies working with co-development studios. #gaming #gamedevelopment #CoDevelopment #WorkForHire'

I’m a big believer of the adage “a rising tide raises all ships 🚢 .” This feels especially true when considering the #backendtools market. As Michail Katkoff nicely summarized in his recent backend piece and podcast, there are folks in these categories: - Account Management - Game Synchronization - Matchmaking - Game Server Orchestration I like industry-wide events as a way to collaborate with parallel tools in the backend space to help raise the tide. For example, I’m grateful for the teams at Pragma, Beamable, Photon Engine, Heroic Labs, Idem Matchmaking, LootLocker, Xsolla, and a number of others that are in development or that I am certainly forgetting for truly rolling up their sleeves and doing the work of true collabs on the technical and commercial side of things. Can’t wait to experience the rising tide! If you’re in this space or adjacent to it, please reach out, I’d love to connect. If you have a different take on this breakdown, I'd love to hear it! #gamedev #backendservices #videogames
