Guest Talk: Press A to Learn — Macromedia Leipzig
Gave a 60-minute talk on founding a games start-up in Mitteldeutschland at the Press A to Learn event hosted by Macromedia students in Leipzig.
I gave a 60-minute talk at Press A to Learn, an event organized by Macromedia Leipzig students Alex Schwarz, Anne, and Julian. The talk was titled “Du kannst einfach Dinge tun; Gründe.” — with the subtitle “Games Start-Up in Mitteldeutschland gründen.”
The thesis is one sentence: you can just do things. Most things are not forbidden, no one is coming to give you permission, and the worst-case outcome of trying is that you end up exactly where you already are. The talk works through ten reasons why that one sentence is not as trivial as it sounds, and then walks through eight concrete things one can actually do in Mitteldeutschland to start making games seriously.
