What does “entrepreneurship”\u00a0mean in the context of the business of games and running a studio?<\/p>\n
At GDC 2017, game industry vet Jason Della Rocca took the stage to try and shed light on that question, and in the process he made an important point: in games, being an entrepreneur means way more than just being willing to do the “business stuff.”<\/p>\n
According to Della Rocca, taking entrepreneurship more seriously and adopting advanced techniques can give devs\u00a0a leg up on the competition.<\/p>\n
Citing examples and lessons learned from his time investing in over 20 studios, Della Rocca offered devs advice on everything from leading a team to securing funding to marketing your game and keeping your head straight throughout the whole process.<\/p>\n
It was a very practical, useful talk that you can now\u00a0watch<\/a>\u00a0for free on the official GDC YouTube channel<\/a>!<\/p>\n In addition to this presentation, the\u00a0GDC Vault<\/a>\u00a0and its accompanying\u00a0YouTube channel<\/a>\u00a0offers numerous other free videos, audio recordings, and slides from many of the recent\u00a0Game Developers Conference events<\/a>, and the service offers even more members-only content for GDC Vault subscribers.<\/p>\n Those who purchased All Access passes to recent events like GDC or VRDC\u00a0already have full access to GDC Vault, and interested parties can apply for the individual subscription via\u00a0a GDC Vault subscription page<\/a>.
