Room 204

Friday October 12, 2018 - 3:00 pm to 3:50 pm


[Speaker: Kevin Klowden] As the proliferation of potential platforms for video games has exploded along with the rise of smart phones, set top boxes and digital downloads for devices from more traditional companies, the need for video game content- especially innovative content- has never been higher. In order to not only satisfy the needs of traditional publishers and distributors, but also mobile app stores, and ever changing consumer tastes- it is vital to have independent game companies who are growing and thriving. This talk will discuss the roles of indies in areas such as innovation, and in attracting and retaining talent in the video game industry.
