Always a delight to see updates like these and the studio is coming along swimmingly! Sad to see Crew eventually make the permanent shift to Youtube, but it makes sense. I would love to see small docs about the less glamorous side of game dev like PR, marketing, communications, the types of positions that are vital but weirdly brushed off. What is it like being HR for a studio or QA learning of a weird and very specific bug. I'm not sure how interested others would be in those conversations, but they would be unique and fun to tell regardless.

2022-10-27 01:29:45 +0000 UTCExcited about the podcast developments! With the developer interviews, maybe some cross promotion from the documentary channel makes sense? The GTA radio stations episode was a perfect tie-in to the DMA Design documentary, but I only became aware of it months after the doc. Even if there are no directly related episodes, a mention like "find more stories on indie game development on our podcast" could entice people to check out what's on offer. And would it be feasible to throw the odd image up on screen during the podcast to illustrate what you're talking about at times (I'm thinking screenshots, box art etc.)? While listening to another retro games (audio-only) podcast I find myself frequently pausing to google when graphics, marketing materials or other visual aspects are being discussed.

2022-10-10 22:44:50 +0000 UTCI'm excited to see the studio coming together. I'm glad you mentioned the podcast I just assumed you all had gotten busy and would return to it later. Turns out Stitcher just didn't seem to be receiving the latest updates. I don't think Stitcher offered anything additional over Apple's podcast app, so I just downloaded a few episodes there to get caught up on a long drive. Looking forward to the upcoming docs.

2022-10-08 19:43:19 +0000 UTCThe studio stuff sounds very excited btw! Loved the few interviews you had in the old one and the short GDC ones, that kinda style! And very curious now for the Hyper Light episode! Have a great weekend 😉

2022-10-07 18:00:55 +0000 UTCThe podcast stream, you say Wednesday at noon, what's that in GMT? American time zones are confusing! 😅 Also, I think you forgot a cut in the beginning. Some extra behind the scenes! 😁👍
