| Session Name: | How to Be a Successful VR Game Studio |
| Speaker(s): | Paul Bettner |
| Company Name(s): | Playful Corp. |
| Track / Format: | Games & Entertainment |
| Overview: | Starting a traditional game studio is a challenge not for the faint-hearted. However, making it as an indie game studio making VR games is beyond challenging; it can be downright mystifying! Playful will share what it's learned over the years doing just that; everything from how to raise money, how to convince publishers to fund your games, how to manage a team that, no matter how talented, is facing a brand new industry with a steep learning curve, and how to create a sustainable culture on the leading edge of disruption. Come listen to how Playful signed a deal with Oculus to fund 'Lucky's Tale', which became the only game bundled with the Oculus Rift at launch ('EVE Valkyrie' was only for pre-orders), and how they raised $25 million in funding to make VR games. |
