In this episode I'm speaking to Dino Patti - Founder @ Coherence - a network engine, platform and a series of tools to help anyone create a multiplayer game and a Co-Founder of Playdead.

We talk about his journey in the gaming industry, the creation of Limbo. We also discuss Coherence, how the company powers the multiplayer gaming and the importance of creating experiences that last.

Lastly we touch on the topic of raising money in the industry, the role of publishers, and the keys to launching a successful game.

It was a great conversation, and I hope that you will all enjoy it, and take something away from it.
