You're now plugged in to the Delphi podcast. Hey,
guys. Welcome back to another episode of the Delphi podcast. Today, I am delighted to introduce you to Cam, the founder of Pixian Studios, the studio behind, Fableborn. Yeah. One of the founders in the Delta Ventures portfolio that we're hugely excited to be backing. So, Cam, thank you for coming on. Yeah.
Always a pleasure. Good to catch up. So
I wanted to kick things off with, just a bit of a personal background on you, give people some, familiarity in terms of what you worked on historically. You know, you've got a ton of experience in the sort of like traditional game space. So I'd love to bring people up to speed on that front. Yeah.
I was lucky. So I I studied games design. You know, I've always been passionate about gaming since I was 6. Played on all the major consoles. It was a a big part of my life growing up. And so naturally went and studied game design and development, and fell in love with the product side. So really thinking about how to build player experiences. Was fortunate that straight out of university, first of all, was at Konami working on, you know, some pretty incredible titles. Firstly, as a fan as well, the the Metal Gear series and Silent Hill.

And why we came up with this type of game is, 1, we've always had success as a studio and as individuals in our our previous careers be prior to Pixien. We've always had success at looking at genres that have maybe become stale, haven't seen any innovation over the last 5, 6, 7 years, then deeply understanding elder game players in those genres because those are the players that are still stuck a
