Been talking to several ppl who have large game dev budgets but want to spend only 2-5% of the total budget on marketing.

No less than 10-20% of your overall budget should go to marketing (including trailers, comms mngr, marketing person etc.).

Games should not be made in a vacuum.

As we all know the game industry is going through very turbulent times, unfortunately this has also affected several members of our collective. The silver lining is that one of the largest rooms in our coworking space in Berlin will be available from September 1st.

I spent well over a month talking to investors to get the actual data behind what’s happening to the games industry. I was going to say “enjoy!” but it’s, uh, not great.
