Matt Householder, a 33 year veteran to the game industry (most famous for Diablo II and more recently Kitchen Scramble) will join Jeremy Kassis (infamous for his Technical Direction on Kitchen Scramble) on stage for a fireside chat with YetiZen! Their combined experience is utterly astounding, and the hits these two have crafted is beyond belief. This fireside chat will be an intimate setting with two of the most brilliant design minds in games.

Topics of discussion include:

• What it was like to transition from a large corporate entity to doing a startup.
• What effects on creativity does this transition bring about?
• On the scary side, people have proclaimed the death of Facebook gaming... yet these two have defied the naysayers and have found success. Is Facebook still a relevant game platform?
• Should startups still pursue FB as a platform of choice?

Come hear how they have been able to pivot through the years from platform to platform, managing to stay current with trends, monetization models, relevant with design challenges from PC to web to mobile to FB, and much more!
