Agenda

Location: Room W206 of Grafisch Lyceum Utrecht, Koningin Wilhelminalaan 7

Walk-in

Today's game industry is pretty cut-throat, with more competition than ever and super risk-averse publishers. In all of this, Manuel Kerssemakers, co-founder of Utrecht-based indie success story Abbey Games, believes it is dangerous to see creative decisions and business decisions as separate things. He'll take us through a few recent important decisions made by Abbey Games, through a holistic vision on creativity and business which he calls "strategic game development".

Talk: Strategic Game Development

Stick around to chat about the topic, your own projects, and of course to make friends!
