Following The Money: Breaking Down Video Game Costs
Have you ever wondered just how much it takes to create and build a video game, or a studio? Have you ever thought, “I know I have an idea, but what would it take to bring that to reality?” Join Alex Engel as he breaks down the real costs for starting a video game project, from realistic milestones to funding goals, from the costs of advertising to expected revenue. Just like how “social media” isn’t a good marketing strategy, “selling on Steam” isn’t a good business plan, but what does a realistic business plan even look like?
About the Speaker:
Alex Engel is a Product Manager at DraftKings who has worked on over a dozen games and expansions across his 13 years in the game industry. He has given over a dozen talks at events like GDC, PAX, and FIG, helping to break down the operations of running video games. This talk is a deeper dive into his PAX East 2018 talk, and draws upon his experience at studios like Warner Bros. and Disruptor Beam developing new projects and games.
