BWB#70: Survive to '25 (and beyond)


Hello friends,

Greetings from Utrecht!

If you've been to any games industry events this year (and even if you haven't), you've heard the tag line:

"Survive to '25"

But what does that mean, exactly, and what can you do to increase your chances of survival?

This was the topic of my talk during Reboot Develop Blue 2024.

In my talk, I covered four main topics:

🛤️ How we got to this point

🏕️ How to survive to '25

🌱 How to thrive in '25

🔄 How our industry can change for the better

Check out my full talk in the video below:

I'm in the middle of my busiest month of the year - somehow all of my big deliverables seem to have concentrated in September - but I'm not too busy to share some hot tips on feedback! This topic comes up a lot in my coaching - either because clients ask about it, or because it becomes clear that feedback is not being shared and received effectively in the studio.
