Organising Projects: Financing vs. Killing it
summary
Panelists compare concrete processes and outcomes for running multiple titles: portfolio of risk—keep ~half the studio on profitable co-dev or work‑for‑hire and half on risky IP—enables 15 years of self‑funding from a $3k start. They run monthly demo days and fund promising concepts (example: up to $100k for a concept funnel), prototype with pomodoro + Jira and gray‑box builds, reuse assets/licenses (e.g. swapping in Takashi 69), and stress that false positives cost time not just money (two‑year Last Regiment taught that lesson).
