ABOUT THIS EPISODE
On this week's episode of the Game Developer podcast, celebrated game designer Harvey Smith and former Arkane Austin executive producer Ben Horne—also the co-founders of the new game studio Black Pony Immersive—join senior editor Bryant Francis for a conversation about the creative principles at the heart of their new venture.
When you're talking about founding any new company, you're usually discussing topics like funding and "addressable marketplaces," but Smith and Horne have had far deeper and more intense discussions about the creative craft of game development—and are ready to explain how those philosophies can make for a successful studio.
