• How does that get released to Sony?
• What does the certification process look like?
• How do they do interoperability testing?
• Since you can't test every permutation of every development house's application of your library in the SDK, how are bugs reported back to you?

Or, on the licensed IP front:

• What's the percentage of original to licensed IP that you do?
• What's the ratio of development budgets for a licensed versus non-licensed IP?
• How does profit sharing differ?

Or, on revenue models:

• Yeah, I'm sure it seems frustrating that you don't get to share in as high a royalties return when the publisher does well, but by choosing to take money up front (and assuming you stay in scope / schedule / budget) you're guarateed a more stable revenue / profit model, regardless of whether the publisher markets the game adequately.

Or,

• So how are independents doing now that they're a part of Foundation 9 Entertainment?

Don't know why I wasn't having these conversations before. Probably because I didn't want to scare folks off from hiring me as "just" a voice actor; but, whatever, they're not hiring me for that.

And it was validating that I know my stuff, and it applies to other vertical markets. Now to just get them to admit that.

As an aside, Jo's Coffee is a nice little venue on that reclaimed West side of 2nd street. I hadn't been there before. Nice digs.
