How to Humanize Your Studio and Set Player Expectations with Astrid Rosemarin
Episode Description:
As a studio, having processes for how you communicate with your audience is always important. However, sometimes how we communicate with players can come off as unauthentic or at a frequency that is just isn’t humanly possible and can set unrealistic expectations.
That’s why Astrid Rosemarin of New World Interactive joins us today to share her thoughts on how her team approaches the concept of “humanizing” the studio and how doing so can help realign player expectations for your games…and possibly the industry as a whole.
