Maestro Media’s Post

During this difficult period for our industry, characterized by job cuts and uncertainty, my company and I want to express our solidarity and support. As we work through these hard times, we must come together, offering support where we can. With this goal in mind, I'm looking forward to attending DICE in Las Vegas next week, aiming to meet with other gaming enthusiasts, creatives, and leaders who are committed to pushing forward with innovation and resilience. Maestro Media is focused on turning digital gaming experiences into immersive tabletop games and successfully launching these on platforms like Kickstarter. We're passionate about using gaming to bring people together, creating experiences that build community and happiness. As we move forward, we're also looking to grow our team by hiring an Operations and Logistics Manager who shares our enthusiasm for positively impacting the gaming world. If you're motivated by the idea of creating innovative gaming experiences and are excited about the prospect of tabletop adaptations, I'd love to hear from you. By joining forces, we can discover new opportunities, exchange ideas, and work on projects that will not only help our industry recover but also spread joy and bring gamers together. Let's work together to transform these tough times into a chance for progress and creativity. #DICE #LasVegas #VideoGames #GamingIndustry #Developers #Publishers #GamingVCs #InvestmentOpportunities #Networking

90 days into the gaming industry and here's what I've picked up: 🔥 Passion: Gaming is work, play, important relationships, and more. Haven’t seen a more passionate industry. 🔎 Curiosity: While lots of studios/publishers maintain a somewhat traditional corporate hierarchy, curiosity opens doors quickly. If you come to a conversation prepared and curious, people love to chat (oh hey, passion!). 📈 Slowly diversifying: Gaming was, and still is, white cis male dominated. Women, for example, occupy 23-27% of roles (higher representation in junior roles). Same pattern among other underrepresented groups. This is a known issue and lots of good folx are working to change this but the industry is slower moving. 🌎 Scope: Gaming is global. 3.3B people play games. Gaming is bigger than music + film, combined. An insular industry with incredible reach. 💰 AAA economics are tough: AAA games are expensive. GTA VI will end up costing $2B+. In a blockbuster-driven model, this means there is a lot of money invested that is not recouped when games underperform. 🔮 Unforeseen impact: When games cost so much to develop, studios try to reduce risk. This means hiring/promoting people with deep industry experience - 'if you’ve done it before, you can (hopefully) do it again' thinking. Makes sense from a risk reduction perspective but maintains the diversity gaps. ⏰ Tough moment: Between the blockbuster hits model, bloated costs, expectations for AAA quality, 18 months of layoffs, the VC-funding model not fully proven/disproven, and shifting priorities, we are in a period of change. The next big breakthrough is anyone's guess at this point. Any suggestions for new topics in my next 3 months of learning? What surprises you most about this industry? #gaming #videogames #gamedevelopment

I love gaming because it’s pure joy, and it’s the best form of escapism around the world. But that’s not why I WORK in gaming. I work in because no other industry drives feedback like gaming. It’s immediate. Whatever you do - whether it’s a new level or a prize, a new feature or a bug fix - has immediate results. You see it in the level of engagements. On social media. In gaming forums. The impact is real, dramatic, and spreads like fire, in the best way. Of course, that instant gratification can turn into a disaster if you make the wrong decision, or overlooked a bug or an error. But that huge responsibility is what makes it even more exciting. Marketers, Product managers, developers, ops - the wildest professional ride you could have is one specific vertical. Working in Gaming isn’t easy, or calm. But it’s epic. #gaming

Reflecting on an inspiring night at the VR Meetup in Manchester last night. Huge thanks to Rob Scott of VR Manchester and Simon Smith of Gameopolis for hosting! 🙌 Key takeaways I wanted to share: - The opportunity for developers in the VR space is HUGE, and it was great to learn about Meta's dedicated support and enthusiasm in fostering exceptional content (big shout out to Brian Darst and Neil Mehta for their insights). 📈 - Gamers, mark your calendars! Tomorrow, Sigtrap will release their explosive new game, Under Cover - a must-play for Time Crisis fans and competitive friends. Luke Thompson and the entire Sigtrap team are clearly passionate about their creation, and rightfully so - it's awesome! 🔫 - Amidst the unfortunate layoffs plaguing the industry, there are countless small teams of talented individuals tirelessly crafting exceptional games independently. To those contemplating their next move: stay resilient - what can seem like the worst possible experience in life will often be a trigger for the best things that happen down the road! I speak from personal experience. 💡 Let's continue to support and uplift one another as we navigate the dynamic and evolving landscape of the gaming industry 💪
