This chat features the co-founders of Exit 73 Studios - Chris Burns, and Bob Fox. Over the years they’ve done many projects for TV, commercials, websites, video games, and more, but currently their in-production game called #Blud, set to release this year. In their chat, Burns and Fox share how they began their indie game dev journey (without any prior gaming experience), found a producer, and their strategic decision to share all their work in process on social media.
Tune in to Ibele, Burns, and Fox to hear:
*How big a team is needed to produce something of #Blud’s caliber
*How difficult it is to enter the gaming industry without any prior experience
*Why #Blud looks like a TV show rather than a typical game (and what advantage that has)
