Today, we’re talking with Jen MacLean of Dragon Snacks Games, founded last year in 2024. Jen comes from a long history in the game industry at some of the largest players in the space. Microsoft, Amazon, 38 studios as well as a lot of time in the IGDA supporting the entire industry. We talk about what pushed her to start a new studio in this moment of the industry, how the early part of her founding journey has gone, and how she supports herself with a “Personal board of directors.” I found the conversation filled with thoughtful reflection, lessons learned, and a warmth and empathy that made it a delight. Let’s jump in.
