On our fifth episode of GN! Looking Back we talk with Elina Arponen, a game industry veteran and a serial entrepreneur, CEO and co-founder of Quicksave Interactive. In 2017, Elina gave a lecture at Aalto University about making games for chat applications - an exciting new area of games. In this episode, we listen a snippet of her 2017 lecture and proceed with reflecting what has happened between now and then. Is Elina still developing chat games? What has happened on the platforms in five years? How does that relate to web3 games and what are the audiences that Quicksave are working with?
