Finally, we discuss whether gaming journalism itself can survive as a business, and if so, how. This episode is brought to you by CleverTap Gaming, the all-in-one platform for creating personalized player experiences.

How do you build a dedicated Roblox studio? The answer: “hire your customer” according to the Co-Founders of Tiny Comet Emily Tierney and Anca Agapi. Your host, Alexandra Takei, Director at Ruckus Games, alongside the Tiny Comet team discusses building and running a studio where the average employee is under twenty years old, acquiring users on a platform that has 40M games and a notorious algorithm that's largely responsible for surfacing your game, and the mission Tiny Comet has to build games that are not only fun, but, as they say, are “learnified” experiences. The pandemic set back education tenfold, and this team is not only on a mission to build where the future of gamers (and game developers) are growing up, but also to boldly tackle a long-standing societal problem. We hope you'll tune in. We'd also like to thank Overwolf for making this episode possible!

As metaverses gain in prominence, and more and more gameplay happens inside these digital worlds, brands, advertisers and IP owners are naturally going to want to be there. Wherever there is consumer attention and engagement, there will always be brands wanting to get in front of these engaged audiences. But how should brands engage with consumers in these spaces that are still fairly alien to them? What does a successful transmedia IP strategy look like? How can brands, which typically know nothing about gaming or the native interactions and the unwritten codes of conduct in each of the various metaverses, how can they get in front of these consumers? Does every brand need a transmedia strategy? To answer these questions your host, Niko Vuori, talks with Joe Ferencz, the founder and CEO of Gamefam, one of the largest metaverse developers that works with brands to bring their IP into the metaverse. To learn more, make sure to visit https://gamefam.com/.
