Join this fireside chat with Liverpool-based games publisher Ripstone as they share their experience of working with Netflix to bring The Queen’s Gambit Chess to life as a game, as well as provide insights on the company’s growth journey from its indie origins to being an established and award-winning company today. In addition to this, you’ll also learn about how Ripstone are collaborating with other games companies in Liverpool’s City Region to nurture and develop games talent in the region.
