  • Episode 8 - The Evolution of Publishing Contracts
    Nov 12 2024
    Guest/Co-host: Allan Kirkeby, Senior Business Developer at EA Dania, Former CEO of Unity Studios, and hosting the IDSU podcast: https://www.idsu.dk/podcast (in Danish)

    Episode Content: In this episode we delve into the world of publishing contracts with Allan Kirkeby. We look into some key components of publishing contracts and talk about how publishing contracts have changed over time to adapt to the evolving industry landscape.

    Personal Insights: Allan enjoys listening to 80’s music, such as Depeche Mode, while cooking. He’s also an avid gamer, currently playing Spacemarine II and exploring many indie titles. Robert has an eclectic [=wide-ranging] music taste including contemporary Italian jazz, enjoying artists like Nicola Conte and Antonio Faraò. In the gaming world, he’s currently engaged with Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor.

    Quotes and References: Please note our nod to the nostalgic era of old school physical media storage, including CD-Rom, floppy disc, and cassette tape (used as data storage in the 80’s for systems like VIC-20, Commodore 64, ZX 81, ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC). “Come back I can still bite you” - is a quote from Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975), and “One Contract to Rule Them All” is a of course a playful reference to Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings.

    Future Episodes Teaser: Stay tuned for the next few episodes where we continue to explore the theme of publishing from various perspectives, featuring experienced industry professionals.

  • Episode 7 - The Indie Dream
    May 31 2024
    From one-man-band to rock star.

    The creator of Necesse, Mads Skovgaard, has taken the full journey, starting 12 years ago from scratch in every sense, even building his own game engine to support his vision of a fun and interesting game experience. Getting in touch with influencers, building updates, community management, and much more until at one day reaching the front page of Steam to discover that a vast number of players are willing to invest in spending time with their friends in the emergent worlds of Necesse.

    We also talk about next steps after growing from indie to indie+ (or true independence), having a team to share your vision with, and how to develop your IP and stories in an emergent world sandbox game.

    Thank you for listening. Please contact me to share your comments and ideas; LinkedIn: Robert Jønsson DAHL, Discord: video.game.lawyer, or email: roj@dahllaw.dk
