    What if talent knew no borders? This question has guided me throughout my entrepreneurial journey and the work we do at Devoted Studios. The gaming industry has always been vibrant, but its true potential lies in unlocking global talent - creating opportunities for anyone, anywhere, to contribute to building worlds we all love to explore. In my feature for Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center’s Faces, I share how the journey began. In 2018, the idea of decentralized game development wasn’t widely accepted. Many doubted it could work. Yet, the reality was simple: great talent existed everywhere - it just needed a way to connect. Today, remote collaboration isn’t just possible - it’s necessary. Platforms like Fusion by Devoted, which we’re launching this year, are designed to simplify these connections, enabling developers to focus on creating instead of logistics. Key lessons I’ve learned along the way: 🌟 Delegation is critical: Learning to trust others with execution frees you to focus on vision. 🌟 Resilience beats doubt: Many will question your ideas, but persistence can turn skepticism into acceptance. 🌟 Inclusivity drives innovation: By embracing diverse talent, you create not only better teams but also better outcomes. For anyone building something new, here’s what I’d say: Stay committed to the impact you want to make. The path won’t be easy, but the results are worth it. https://lnkd.in/g4vk2qD9 What’s one way you think industries can better embrace global collaboration? #GamingIndustry #GlobalTalent #WomenInTech #FacesOfEntrepreneurship #DevotedStudios #MyPath

  • Behind the Scenes: Overcoming Challenges on the Open Roads Project At Devoted Studios, we pride ourselves on creative problem-solving and innovation. A great example of this is our work on the Open Roads Project for the Nintendo Switch. When it comes to porting a game to a platform with limited hardware, it’s all about thinking outside the box. Here are some key insights from our Art Director, Igor D., who led the team through this complex challenge: - Out-of-the-Box Solutions: To make the game run smoothly with large, dynamic environments, we converted trees into a particle system, saving memory and processing power without compromising the experience. - Persistence Pays Off: We explored several solutions before landing on the particle system. Sometimes, it’s all about iterating and testing until you find the perfect fit. - Teamwork & Creativity: Even when we faced unexpected issues, we kept the mindset of experimenting and learning. Igor’s hands-on approach to problem-solving helped the team find quick fixes in tricky situations. 💡 Lesson Learned: Don’t be afraid to experiment. Creative thinking and teamwork can turn even the toughest challenges into opportunities for growth. 👇 Want more insights on the project?

    Indie Games Are Thriving – What’s Driving the Boom? The 2024 Global Indie Games Report by Video Game Insights reveals a transformative year for indie games, now rivaling AAA titles in revenue on Steam. What’s fueling the growth? 💡 Big Wins for Triple I Indies: Games like Black Myth: Wukong (20.6M units sold, 96% positive reviews) now account for over 50% of indie revenue. 💡 Experienced Studios Lead: Developers releasing their 2nd or 3rd games are seeing average revenues grow 40%-70% higher than first-timers. 💡 Player Engagement: Titles like Palworld average 50+ hours of playtime, showing that indies are capturing hearts and playtime like never before. 2024 has already seen an 82% surge in indie game revenue, hitting $4.9B YTD. With this momentum, indie games are reshaping the industry. P.S. It is hard for me to call Black Myth an indie though. That term feels very stretched. What’s your take on what should be considered indie? #IndieGames #GameDev #Creativity #VideoGameReport
