The Hot Seat (EP.6) | with Ian Fischer and Patrick Streppel

Welcome to The Hot Seat, Slitherine's brand-new monthly appointment designed to bring you closer to the heart of the strategy and indie gaming industry.

Each month, Marco Minoli, our Director of Publishing, takes the lead, sitting down with influential guests from across the gaming landscape.
These aren't just interviews; they're open, insightful dialogues where we tackle the most pressing current issues and hot topics affecting the games you love and the industry that creates them.
For all dedicated tabletop and strategy wargame fans, you absolutely won't want to miss The Tabletop Corner.
This is your essential, quick yet immersive update on the latest and greatest tabletops and miniatures releasing in the wargaming world.

This week on The Hot Seat, we're diving deep into the minds behind grand strategy with two incredible guests!

Join us as we talk to Ian Fischer, Co-Founder of C-Prompt Games and a veteran designer known for his work on Age of Empires II. Ian shares his philosophy on building deep, historically engaging strategy titles.
Then, we welcome Patrick Streppel, Chief Product Officer at Jumpgate AB, who gives us a look at the business side of gaming - how do you turn a great concept into a global success?

Join us for candid conversations, expert perspectives, and a unique look behind the scenes, all designed to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation for the world of strategy gaming.
