Validate, Hype, Release - A Strategic Approach to Reducing Your Next Game’s Risk of Flopping
2:00 - 3:30 PM EDT
Maintaining an indie studio is a tough challenge. With roughly 1,000 games launching on Steam every month, it’s just too easy to be overlooked. After releasing two profitable PC games and gathering over 400k wishlists for their upcoming game “The Wandering Village”, the Stray Fawn Studio team has now identified the approaches that are crucial to their success.
In this talk, Philomena will share her studio’s best practices to validate interest in a project early on, build up hype around the game and focus the momentum at launch. Join Stray Fawn Studio in the dissection of their strategies related to crowdfunding, social media, social news, community building and events.
