Panelists will cover the top five hot topics mobile indie game developers should consider when working with a major publisher, including:
- Skin in the game -- what it takes mathematically for a big publisher to make an indie developer's game successful
- IP vs non IP -- the value and challenges of working with established brands
- Free-to-play vs premium -- the risks/rewards
- Casual vs core -- what game genre competition is out there
- Studio structure -- indie developers need to know if they have the bandwidth and resources for the game to work long-term
Takeaway
Attendees will learn what publishers look for when evaluating indie mobile game studios, how publishers mathematically determine if they'll sign on an indie developer, when do free-to-play and premium models make sense, and how do publishers view the value of casual/core games.
