After the winter break, The Hot Seat is back with a brand-new episode, kicking off the new season with two outstanding voices from the world of strategy gaming.

Next week, we’ll be sitting down with Ian Fischer, Co-Founder of C-Prompt Games and a veteran designer best known for his work on Age of Empires II. Ian will take us into the creative heart of strategy design, sharing his philosophy on building deep, historically grounded games that challenge players while remaining engaging and accessible over time.

In the second half of the episode, we will welcome Patrick Streppel, Chief Product Officer at Jumpgate AB, who will shift the focus to the business side of game development. From shaping a strong product vision to navigating market realities, Patrick will offer valuable insights into how a strong concept can evolve into a successful global release.
These engaging conversations will provide expert insights and a rare behind-the-scenes look at both the creative and business sides of strategy gaming.
The format also includes several other engaging segments, such as a roundup of the latest and most important news from the strategy gaming world, an interview with well-known influencer BurkBlack discussing this month’s standout strategy games, the Tabletop Corner dedicated to tabletop gaming, and much more.
Whether you’re a developer, a publisher, or a devoted fan, The Hot Seat offers a deeper understanding and appreciation of the genre.
Mark your calendars: January 28th at 6 pm CET on Youtube and Twitch
