Learning to Build a Games Company - Podcast Interview

A few weeks ago I had the chance to talk to Joakim Achrén on the Elite Game Developers Podcast. It was a wide ranging interview that covered nearly everything from my personal journey in the industry to the nitty gritty details of how we make decisions inside Proletariat.

Topics that we covered included:

  • What I think is the ideal company culture for a games company

  • Where a company can struggle in building a strong culture

  • The shift from mobile to PC/Console and how we think about pivots

  • Fundraising and the ideal amount of money to raise

  • The involvement of a CEO in creative and other decisions over time

  • Ways to balance innovation and proven ideas in game design
