Strategic sessions can align teams, drive real change, and avoid endless meetings that go nowhere.

My new article: Strategic Session In-House: From Preparation to Execution – A Practical Framework

shorturl.at/uXJZn

#gamedev #strategy #leadership #Management

Somehow, I finished my first session. IMHO, 10 hours for a first game is too long, but that’s not the real issue. The game just ends with a satellite, nuclear bomb, or some late-age event. Where’s the modern era?

No one more turn, nothing. Feels... incomplete.

#Civ7 #strategy

I have mixed feelings about Civ 7. It’s that same uneasy feeling I had when I launched HoMM 7 for the first (and last) time. But, I really hope this isn’t the same case.

Fingers crossed for a worthy successor! 🤞🎮

I know my taste is weird, but I’m so hyped that Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four! got an anime! It’s so much better than The Genius Prince's Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt. Loved that one, but this hits differently!

Yes, I believe that AI has the potential to make our lives a way better, just like computers 40+ years ago, the Internet 25 years ago, and anime a decade ago did for me.

Just finished an article for our Substack at the agency.

7 traps that derail game dev ROI: Sunk Costs, Emotional Attachment, Opportunity Costs, Undefined Kill Criteria, Post-Launch Costs, Hope vs. Data, and Lack of Marketing.

Drops tomorrow.

Which of these have you faced?
