Deconstructor of FunWhy Pokemon Unite Hasn’t Reached the Top (yet?)Pokemon Unite had a strong start.

Deconstructor of FunHow to Brand a New Studio with Joe Nicholls, President & co-Founder of Timbre GamesHiring is the most difficult and crucial part of building up a studio. What makes it easier is having a great employer brand. With a big name like Supercell, Activision or EA you’re more likely to attract great employees and retain your current ones. Your job ads produce an abundance of applicants, which in turn reduce your recruitment costs. And as you get those great hires in, they will refer their coworkers allowing you to scale up faster.
But how do you build an employer brand that can compete for employees against the established talent magnets in...2021-11-081h 33

Deconstructor of FunEverything You Didn’t Know About Playrix with Maxim Kirilenko, CBDO at PlayrixWhile we all know of Playrix, we also know very little about the company. There are almost no English-speaking articles on how they make games or what is their organizational structure. I don’t remember ever reading about their culture nor hearing about their future plans. The company prospers behind an iron curtain. And if you don’t speak Russian, you’d likely be clueless, until now…
I had the privilege to sit down with Maxim Kirilenko, Playrix’ Chief Business Development Officer, and ask all the questions that I wanted about the company. We talk about:
