Operations

How do you run the day to day?

Business operations; the daily activities and processes a company undertakes to produce, market and distribute goods and services

​

As the games industry faces record layoffs from significant and established studios, we're seeing the industry landscape change to a major growth in micro studios, solo devs and freelance contractors

​

Creative talent with enviable skills in programming, art and design don't necessarily have the knowledge, time or desire to tackle the operational side

​

Financed or pre-revenue we can support you in a number of ways

 

  • Full set up of your processes, legal requirements and documentation

  • Work on a retainer to reduce the need for a full-time salaried role

  • Provide piecemeal work depending on your needs 

  • Mentor an existing member of staff or help find and appoint a new employee to run these going forward

​

I've ran the operations for three studios in the games industry with capital reaching $12 million (Netspeak Games, Fusebox Games, Failbetter Games), entering at early stage growth (10 people) and setting up all processes and strategy from scratch.  The rest of the FoxChickenGrain team all have similar experience, and though the majority of teams and studios we now support are much smaller, the same learnings, principals and documentation apply!
