To wrap up the first season of Game Dev Diary, I had two guests on the episode for the first time. Ayhan Şahin and Tuğrul Atak, co-founders of Playabit, joined the podcast to talk about their journey in gaming and how they founded. Both of them worked for some of the largest gaming companies like Jam City, Scopely, and Big Fish. They also worked together at Peak as two of the first members of Toy Blast.
We talk about the importance of constantly playing games, how demanding a hit-driven business such as the games industry can be, and why it is so crucial to be working with the best.
