This week we’re thrilled to introduce GDC Side Quest! This new monthly bonus episode of the Game Developer Podcast is a new project run in collaboration with our peers at GDC Festival of Gaming. In these Content Marketing Manager Beth Elderkin will be stepping into the hosting chair to speak with game industry professionals across the production ecosystem in search of unexpected lessons about the art and business of making games.
We’re kicking off the Side Quest series with a a fun chat about our favorite side quests in games, followed by an interview with Finji CEO Bekah Saltsman, a ferocious advocate for indie self-advocacy. Saltsman is a fantastic friend of Game Developer who’s urged indies for years to take their marketing and business needs seriously.
Side Quests may be optional. But developers know they always make a game better.
