Ep. 88: Making a game of fantasy sports w/ Rourke Struthers from GameBlazers

Ep. 88 features Rourke Struthers from GameBlazers, which is empowering sports fans to create and manage their own experiences.

Hear him discuss:

  • The origins of GameBlazers as the ‘NFT League’, and the eventual pivot away from being a web3 product
  • GameBlazers’ unique concept as a hybrid between fantasy sports and non-fantasy game, which brings together “the best of two worlds”
  • Bringing the thrill of pack opening to a digital experience, and the need to ensure that it remained “very engaging and… tactile”
  • How the product gameplay was designed to allow users aged 13+ to access it in a compliant manner
  • The iterative process of designing a game from the ground up, and how they decided which mechanics to incorporate into the game
  • The importance of having a long-term time horizon and the ability to iterate and adapt within it
  • His experience raising capital from a single angel investor, and the trade-offs he sees with that strategy compared to raising from institutional investors
