Rethink Games with Scott Novis

In this much-delayed final episode of my 7 part series on starting an esports program, I want to touch on perhaps the most important part of the program.Play! It is a short episode but don't let that fool you.  There's still some great information.

Continuing my series on starting a recreational esports program, I tackle part 6 - Progress.  Players join communities for a variety of reasons but one of the most important is their desire to improve.  There are a variety of ways to make sure your program cultivates the potential of the players.

Over this 7 part series, I am touching on the key elements for establishing an esports program.  The list 1. People 2. Purpose 3. Place 4. Platform 5. Process 6. Progress 7. Play! Today I focus on the process part of the equation.  I hope you find it useful.  You can find more information at scottnovis.com, or my company bravous.com.

# Starting an Esports Program Part 4: Platforms In the "trade" we call the computer hardware that video games run on the platform.  There are three: 1. Personal Computers 2. Consoles 3. Mobile While mobile is becoming a thing in esports, in this episode I'm going to focus on PC and Console, talking about the tradeoffs and how to think about them.

When you are investing in creating a healthy esports community, place becomes the next most important item on your list.  If you have great people, a clear purpose, now you need to know where to focus your efforts. You can listen to this episode on Anchor.fm or where ever you get your podcasts.
