S1 E6: Growing and Shepherding Thriving Design Culture in Games with Eric Kabisch
Manage episode 508014303 series 3677604
Some leaders speak with their actions, and video game design executive Eric Kabisch is one of those leaders. A seasoned gaming design executive with experience at companies like Scopely, Roblox, Google, and VRChat, Eric has spent most of his career with a laser focus on the teams and products he supports and his record speaks for itself. This rare, frank, and transparent conversation with a people-focused design executive like Eric brings actionable insight for any leader of creatives in the video game industry: from applied business insights to from advice for helping team members navigate the shift from ideation to operations, the concept of low-ego, high-collaboration, high-alignment environments; from audio design for games to the critical role of a curious mindset; insight into some of the elements that made Scopely's initial rise successful, and of course a reflection on the state of the industry economy and artificial intelligence.
