For the past 10 years, Eastern European developers have dominated the PC casual game markets around the world. But the industry has changed and many companies are now losing ground to content creators from other regions. What are the challenges developers face today? Is it worth working with publishers or is it better to do it on your own? Is raising money for game development the only question? Are we distracted by our domestic consumer market? Do we lack critical skills or information? Perhaps there are cultural reasons? Join Valentin Merzlikin, CEO of Prosto Games, and hear what he thinks we need to accomplish if we wish to hold onto our place in the global games ecosystem.
