Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 422: Sam Willson, Fable Fury Studios
Q: What didn't go well for you guys during the first campaign, and what did you learn for next time?
The team did not set clear expectations for its pre-launch reward, did not fully understand social media advertising, and contacted Kickstarter too late to pursue promotion. Wilson says the team has learned to manage ads more directly and engage Kickstarter earlier.
Episode 422: Sam Willson, Fable Fury Studios
Q: How do you guys manage co-designing games across the planet and completely different time zones?
The team works early mornings and evenings and hands work off across time zones; Wilson and Jordan may share a time zone when Jordan moves to Japan.
Episode 420: Scott Morris, Steelwing Games
Q: What was your entry point?
Morris says games were part of his life from childhood, and his retail work introduced him to the business. After retiring from Dell in 2012 and running a board game review channel, he joined Arcane Wonders and later worked in publishing and distribution before joining Lucky Duck and starting Steelwing.
Episode 420: Scott Morris, Steelwing Games
Q: Can you give people kind of just a quick breakdown of like Steelwing versus Lucky Duck just so they can understand those are two different companies?
Morris explains that he joined Lucky Duck in 2022 as a shareholder and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, and that the company was acquired by Goliath in 2024. He now works as global brand director, while Steelwing is his own publishing company.
Episode 421: Alex Wolf, Spielcraft Games
Q: What was the decision process that led you to say, hey, I think I'm gonna pull this?
Wolf said the campaign was far short of the amount needed to recoup his substantial development and marketing costs. He chose to use the time before production to prepare the game and build a larger audience before relaunching, hoping more people would play it and support a later campaign.
