    This is a great podcast! I personally am not good at game dev :/ but this has helped me with what little I can do, would love to see an episode on hard puzzle design/easter eggs. (I made my username when I was 8 lol so yea it’s goofy)

  • Amazing Experience

    I’ve had this podcast on my radar for a while. Went on a morning walk and started with the episode on your game feeling cheap. Super insightful and helpful, I thought the sponsorship parts were well done. Definitely looking forward to new episodes going forward on my morning walks.
