About Event

Meet Alexandra Takei, Studio Business Director at Ruckus Games and host of the Naavik Gaming Podcast. Traveling from NYC to GDC, she'll be hosting Naavik's first-ever audience live recording (and yes, there will be audience Q&A!).

Join us at Hathora Hub located at Sandbox VR on Market Street as we dive into the world of self-funded indie studios with Nick Popovich, the Founder and CEO of Monomi Park, the studio behind the beloved Slime Rancher franchise. We explore the unique, slow-growth model that challenges the fast-paced, hyper-growth mindset of VC-backed studios. Learn about cultivating a dedicated community, building IP over time, and the advantages of skipping external financing to create a sustainable studio. This conversation will challenge the status quo and offer a fresh perspective on how to grow and thrive in the competitive gaming industry.

There are only 50 seats available, so register today!
