Today on the good ship SS Tomorrow we have a special co-pilot: Lucy Cooke, CEO of Spacedraft. A great WA tech start-up and an innovative visual learning app, one to look out for!

Blockchain gaming is one fast-developing area of the Metaverse, that may not get much attention in the West, but it is huge at the moment in South East Asia, especially in The Philippines.

There is so much to learn from the world of the video game industry. It is big business, with 1 in 3 people on Earth, currently playing video games on a regular basis.

For marketers and small business owners, there is so much we can learn from game developers, like, for instance, how to create engaging virtual worlds.

Joining us today are Naomi and Mark from Shrapnel and David from Good Gaming. And we are going to delve deep into what makes game developers tick.
