The Carly P Reilly Show

This week, we are sharing an episode of Between 2 Layers, an Immutable X podcast hosted by Carly Reilly and Immutable X Co-Founder and President, Robbie Ferguson. This episode was initially recorded and aired in October 2022. Today, Carly is joined by Justin Hulog, Chief Studio Officer at Immutable X, as they discuss his approach to shaping the next generation of gaming. They'll cover getting your game funded, the roles of creativity and business in game development, keeping curiosity as a North star on the web3 gaming frontier, and more during this rare look inside the Immutable Games Studio.
