BETTER LEADERS MAKE BETTER GAMES

The old model of running a games’ studio simply isn’t working.

95% of games that enter production will never make a profit.  Most won’t even ship.

Since 2020, the proverbial rug has been pulled from under us. Figuring out remote work, funding difficulties, hiring challenges, and limited resources available to help us out.

Studios everywhere struggle with a lack of clarity about what the product is, what features are most important to engage players, and a ton of wasted effort, headcount, and cash burn.

We’ve helped studios avoid these pitfalls.

95% of games that enter production never make a profit. Most will never actually ship.

At Valarin, we want to change that, and we view leaders as the catalyst to a better industry. The gaming market continues to grow. There is a continual hunger for the amazing interactive experiences that only video games provide. We believe that if we can build up and guide leaders in the games industry to think holistically – and not get stuck in all the tools and methodologies that are everywhere – more amazing games will happen.

Holistic Leadership is imperative to building successful games.

How we can help you:

  1. Work with you to build a strategic plan that will provide a product and organizational roadmap - starting with where you’re at today.
  2. Work with you to build a clear game vision that is understandable & available throughout your studio to maintain focus and eliminate wasted work.
  3. Train your leaders in a weekly cohort program that will teach them the core skills they need to ship great games and lead your teams through a combination teaching/case study approach.
  4. 1:1 Coaching for selected high potential leaders or members of your executive team to provide you with support as you build your studio/game.

Clarity of vision & effective leadership are at the core of the secret sauce of making great games. The most successful studios (with the more desirable cultures) are focusing in these areas. We have a demonstrated track record of building these systems.
