Hi! I'm in Perm and decided to record an interview with Anton Volkov @tochka.sborki — a game producer and investor. If you're a little older, you've probably heard of his browser game "Tanki Online". In addition, he developed the popular Alternativa3D engine, had a hand in creating the multi-billion startup Miro, and all this without leaving Perm. We talked about: — The importance of reputation, or how an enthusiast differs from a businessman; — How startups with low social responsibility cheat investors; — What principles from game development are applicable to any business; — Why an international-level business can and should be built in the provinces; — How to assemble a team of "your people" or why "those who want to will find their way to Perm".
