SUMMARY:GameBiz Lab: Working-For-Hire in Video Games: Can you? Should you?
DESCRIPTION:GameBiz Lab is bringing education and consulting around the business side of video games. Join us for our Masterclass series for new and aspiring video game studio owners or anyone interested in the business of video game development. \n\n\n\nGame Development is tough\, and many teams will get to the point where they need to look beyond their initial game project to find some different path to survive. Many consider if ‘Service Work’ is the way to go – taking on game development work from clients in (and out of) the game industry that will pay the bills and keep the lights on. \n\n\n\nFew who venture down this path first consider the implications on their team\, and how they may need to evolve as a business to succeed in this very different end of the business. Noah Decter-Jackson has tread this path – from starting up Complex Games as an indie studio working on its own game\, to pivoting to Work-For-Hire through several very different stages of the game industry\, to pivoting back to independent game development and launching a successful title – Noah has faced the many trials and tribulations of building a successful “Work-for-Hire” game development studio. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Noah will tackle the challenges of Service Work in Game Development\, what you should consider\, and whether or not it’s the path for you. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNoah Decter-Jackson\n\n\n\nAs Co-Founder\, Studio Head & Game Director of Complex Games Inc. (Manitoba’s first videogame development company)\, Noah has worked to push forward the industry in this province for the past 23 years. After initially bootstrapping a small team with $0 dollars\, he grew Complex into a successful work-for-hire studio employing nearly 50 people. Having also recently seen massive success with the launch of their own game title Noah has had experience with both sides of the business\, and is eager to help demystify how the service industry works. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:The Exceptional Story of Complex Games
DESCRIPTION:The ‘exceptional’ story of Complex Games launching Chaos Gate\, and their future with Frontier Developments\, moderated by James Swirsky.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCreating a video game from scratch is no small undertaking. \n\n\n\nLaunching a successful video game from a Winnipeg indie studio is simply ‘exceptional’.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The truth is that over 50% of indie games on Steam have never made more than $4\,000\, and over 2/3 of these games don’t reach $10\,000 in lifetime revenue.*However\, Winnipeg’s own Complex Games Inc. was able to overcome these odds with their own title launch after many years in the business. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a fascinating conversation between Noah-Decter-Jackson and James Swirsky as they walk us through some of Complex Games history\, and share what it took to achieve Chaos Gate’s success\, and what eventually led to its acquisition. \n\n\n\nThis up-close conversation is being held at the beautiful RRC Polytech Auditorium on March 9th at 7:00 pm\, followed by an interactive Q & A where you can ask Noah questions about his unique and rare experience with making an indie game a global success.   \n\n\n\n*https://www.liquidweb.com/insights/video-game-statistics \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNoah Decter – JacksonHead of Studio & Games Director\, Complex Games \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNoah is a Creative Director-Entrepreneur\, over 21 years ago he bootstrapped Manitoba’s first videogame development studio\, Complex Games Inc.\, starting with $0 and at a time without any existing local industry\, community or government support.  After having built a successful work-for-hire business making games for some of the world’s largest publishers\, he pivoted the company towards independent development\, leading to the eventual 2022 launch of the top-selling & rated Warhammer 40\,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters. In the same year he and his partners sold the studio to Frontier Developments PLC\, where he continues on in his new role as Studio Head and Game Director. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator: James SwirskyDirector/Producer: ‘Indie Game: The Movie‘Co-founder of BlinkWorks Media \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJames Swirsky is a documentary filmmaker primarily focused on telling stories in the world of video games.  James co-founded BlinkWorks Media and has made films for the likes of Valve\, Ubisoft\, Roblox\, Facebook and The Game Awards.
