episode 22: Episode 21: Game Monetization with Oscar Clark, Unity Evangelist
If you’ve had the opportunity to attend Unite in the past couple of years you’ll recognize today’s guest. With his signature hat and jovial personality, he’s hard to miss. I am of course talking about Oscar Clark, another awesome Unity Evangelist.
We met Oscar at Unite 2015 in Boston and we were thrilled when he offered to come on the show. The topic of discussion we laid out for him was game monetization, but he went much deeper than that. In what turned out one be one of our longest interviews yet, Oscar shared some amazing insights, not just on monetization strategies and how to implement them in your game, but also on the underlying design principles that motivate player engagement in the first place. Lots of great actionable advice here. As always, if you have any questions for us or Oscar send them to thedebuglog@gmail.com.
