\nToday's episode of the Manaverse Podcast is part two of the Steve Ellis interview and yes, that's a time travelling DeLorean in the feature image. Steve is the co-owner of Rainy Day Games in Aloha, Oregon in case you missed the first part, and if you have you should really check it out. The link is\u00a0right here.
\nIn this half, we dive deep into consulting for the games industry, including design, development, and publishing. We also go over optimizing your event space and getting a shop booked solid.
\nDuring\u00a0this episode we also talk about:
\n
\nRoyalties vs. upfront contracts
\nHow overnight success in the game business doesn't actually exist
\nThe perpetual battle between retailers and game distributors
\nHow to pick the winners, the games that fly off your shelf
\nHow to promote games that don't automatically fly off your shelf
\nGame demos, the board game retailer's secret weapon
\n
\nCheck out Rainy Day\u00a0Games\u00a0on Facebook, Twitter, and the web and\u00a0say hi to Steve. Let him know you heard him on the Manaverse Podcast.
