How To Start A Game Studio

In this inaugural Lunch Club episode of The Fourth Curtain we discuss starting a Game Studio, something Alex has done a few times. We fail to actually eat lunch, but we do talk about the following topics:

1) Why? Why do you want to start one? What are good reason to do so and what’s a game studio really?

2) Strategies. If you are starting a studio, does it have a strategy? Platform, genre, technology, IP? What’s the “sum is greater than its parts” part?

3) Funding. How to get off the ground

4) Needs. Team, Legal, Accounting, Technology Infrastructure, Nuts and Bolts and other operational considerations.

5) Team. How to recruit, building a culture, keeping focus, motivating long term and balancing hard skills vs soft skills
