Today, we’re talking with Eamonn Glass, founder of Maggie’s Farm Studio. Eamonn has had a pretty diverse career both in and out of games, most recently an 11 year stint at Electronic Arts.
As he was considering what he wanted to do next, searching for his next purpose, wildfires in British Columbia claimed the town of Lytton, completely wiping it from the map. He had been a regular visitor of Lytton, with his family often going there to camp each summer.
This sparked a focus on building games to help educate and address the need for change in wildfire management, awareness, and prevention, and the start of his founding journey. From there, Eamonn has had his shares of ups and downs and dealing with the realities of founding, which he shares with us. Let’s jump in.
