Sourcing Manager
Interview with William Bertin, the person to pitch your indie video game to if you’re looking for a publisher.
Publishing & Pitch Decks
The “First Games” market
Many students, young creators, novices, and artists entering the video game industry are convinced that they must prove themselves right from their very first game…
What is a (good) pitch deck?
What are the right tips to follow and the pitfalls to avoid making a Pitch Deck effective? And above all: what is a Pitch Deck after all?
How to navigate the current funding crisis
Interesting discussion (not captured) at XP Toronto in 2024. There was talk of the coming crisis, and other publishers were talking more about a saturated market. I said that artists shouldn’t be prevented from creating, and that publishers should be better able to understand the market without over-funding.
Personal Insights
How would the video games press rate Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa?
The JV press is ever more behind the times in its role in society, at a time when artistic works are ever more difficult to judge via a note rather than words. But behind the scales and punchlines, perhaps the Press is already doing its job ?
Playformance : Proteus at IndieCade Europe
I had the honor and privilege of proposing a Playformance, a mix of Gameplay Commentary and Conference, on a game I’m particularly fond of:PROTEUS. This was part of the excellent IndieCade Europe and its 2019 edition.
You need me for a talk, a panel or everything else ?
If there’s one thing I love doing in my job, it’s talking to people, debating, helping them find solutions and taking a realistic look at the industry.
