Platform Strategy Insights from WN Conference Istanbul Panel

Last week, our founder Tugbek Olek hosted a panel at the WN Conference Istanbul, bringing together studio leaders who shape the future of Turkish game development. We want to acknowledge how valuable it was to curate a space where thoughtful industry insight met practical strategy.

Industry Voices, Platform Choices

We sat down with Yasin Demirden of SuperGears Games, Alper Özgün Yeşil of Agave Games, Furkan Kuru (studio name not specified), and Doğan Can Yeginer (studio name not specified). Together, they illustrated a clear pattern: business decisions often outweigh gameplay when choosing platforms. Most developers begin with one platform and stick to what plays to their strengths, only branching out when necessity pushes them toward wider support.

It was rewarding to hear them share honest reflections about growth, adaptation, and strategic timing.

Crafting the Conversation

Industry attendees spoke afterward about how the conversation cut through typical platform fluff and focused on real business mechanics. Multiple developers shared that the panel shifted how they thought about their own roadmaps, platform choice is not just creative, it is strategic.

We are grateful to WN Conference, the speakers, and everyone who listened in with open minds. Conversations like this prove that our industry thrives when studio leaders talk honestly about how they work. We look forward to continuing this thread, helping frame the big questions early, rather than responding to them later.
