About this episode
Eline Muijres discusses the dynamics of trust in publishing relationships and how to navigate challenges during game development.
Join Eline Muijres for “Your Publisher Is Still Judging You: How Trust Is Built, Lost, and Repaired in a Publishing Relationship” Signing a publishing deal isn’t the finish line, it’s the start of a long-term relationship. Eline draws from her experience as a Publisher Producer to explain how trust is built, tested, and sometimes broken throughout development. Using real-world examples, this session explores how publishers evaluate not just your game, but your communication, reliability, and team dynamics. You’ll learn what strengthens a partnership, what damages it, and how to recover when things start going sideways. #FYP #VirtualConference #IndieGameDev #IndieGames #GamesIndustry #Publishing
