In this value-packed episode, we’re joined by Jay Powell, founder of The Powell Group, a video game consulting firm focused on business development, publishing support, and licensing with clients like Other Ocean, Spill Games, and Deep Silver.

Jay has also spearheaded the Indie Game Business Initiative which produces both a weekly podcast and hosts multiple virtual business conferences each year in order to help game creators develop a solid understanding of the business and marketing aspects of the game industry.

Join us as we dive into important topics for indie devs and small devs trying to get their foot in the door such as:

How to strategize your approach to publishers as an indie developer
How to avoid the biggest business mistakes that small studios make
The hottest opportunities in the market for developers right now
How the pandemic has affected the publishing landscape for indies and small dev teams
And how new platforms like Microsoft Game Pass are impacting the rest of the distribution landscape
