Neko's Laurent Lichnewsky
The French developer's MD on why the company picked up student project Puddle
It's the team's IP.
We've got five of them - the last one, for different reasons, has chosen to work somewhere else. But he's still helping the team. They're very close, it's a solid partnership.
Not as much as the US or Canada, but it's okay.
I think money, of course! But more than that, there needs to be more teachers involved in the industry - not separated. It's the same across Europe, in the UK or Germany, it's about the same level, but I think there's a big difference in the US, or even Japan.
It's not enough, but it's a good start. It's never enough.
Yes, but it's not too bad a situation. There are a lot of schools, which helps.
