In this episode of Buona La Prima, we sit down with Paolo Gambardella, a recognized expert in the field of game design, to discuss what it really means to go from 0 to 1 in creating a successful entertainment service for mobile games.
Paolo shares his insights on:
• The ideation and pre-production phases of a mobile game.
• Why player instincts and motivations are key to building lasting experiences.
• How to adopt a service-oriented mindset, focusing on superfans rather than casual players.
