Join us on November 14th for an excellent presentation by Nigel A. Franks, MBA, hosted by the Ottawa Game Makers community!
Similar to professional sports leagues, there is a common misconception that game dev is all about play. Game development is a business, influenced by licensing, player salaries, and unexpected market changes. Large corporations make both informed strategic decisions and uninformed trips to crazy town that affect how game developers work and how all gamers play. The Work of Play provides an inside view of the business of managing game development, including industry pivots, politics, strategic planning and a few pro tips used by successful game dev teams to make super fun titles. If you’re considering starting a game development studio or entering the game dev field, this talk is for you.
Whatever your experience level—whether you're just starting your game development journey, a seasoned pro, or simply interested in learning more about making games, we hope to see you there!

Doors will open at 6:30PM, and the presentation will start at 7:00PM. After the presentation, feel free to stick around and socialize with fellow game dev community members before the event wraps up at 9:00PM.
