It’s been a lot of pitch training, a lot of feedback to digest and many contradicting pieces of advise that the teams has received. But I think that’s what working with games is all about, really. There’s a lot of learning, paying attention and then deciding on what they REALLY want to be and do!
A lot of information was thrown at these teams and I’m proud of who they are as game developers coming out of the program! I’m having a hard time letting go and will be avidly following them on their road ahead! And so should you!!
