In our inaugural podcast, Chris Chancey of Manavoid Entertainment and Indie Asylum joins Valued Cultures Daryl Ogden to discuss vibrant studio cultures. In briefly sketching the history of Manvoid, Chris and Daryl determine how a focus on ensuring market fit led Manavoid to pursue a strategy of hybridizing game genres. They go on to discuss how Chris and his partners evaluate candidates for Indie Asylum, an Montréal-based incubator/accelerator that supports nascent game studios. Finally, drawing upon research from the soon-to-be-released “Winning Game Studio Culture in the Post-Pandemic Era,” Chris explains some of the differences Valued Cultures found in how Québec studios–in comparison to the broader range of North American studios–find the promise of remote work as well as the relative importance of the global talent pool.
