Ask Me Anything #7

41 min • 20 december 2021

In this week’s podcast, I’m doing my seventh Ask Me Anything episode, where I answer listener questions. If you have any questions you’d like me to answer, please submit them by filling out this form.

These are the questions that I cover in this episode:

How can an inexperienced shooter team raise funding?
I want to build a web3 game. What should I do first?
Are there angel investors dedicated to gaming?
How should I create late-game coin sinks?
Have you thought about doing another games company ever again?
