summary
Panel describes concrete deals and outcomes: mobile teams reuse engines and art to target global reach, fundraising board game campaigns raised £150k to buy credibility, and licensors supply asset libraries and community channels that make projects viable. Examples include licensed board games (Thunderbirds, Conan, John Carter), a 32mm Star Trek miniature line, and pitfalls like costly local rebranding and slow approval process that blow budgets and timelines.
