Looking outside of gaming and seeking insights from those in other industries can really aid our practice and success. This presentation will look at a case-study of partnering with sports professionals for a localised esports game. It will delve into the challenges faced with working externally and how to tackle these challenges. Getting value from elsewhere can broaden our horizons, but is not always easy, so this session will also understand some more soft skills that can help equip us to extract everything we possibly can from these partners.
