  • Amazing content, recordings need post-production

    Such an outstanding and information rich podcast series. Everything that Game Dev London is focusing on within the podcast series and outside at their events and talks is so incredibly welcoming and easy to digest. There is not really any other platform which is outputting the quality which is GDL. Recommend this podcast for anyone in or looking to get into the Video Games Industry, as you will learn about your specialism as well as others, and how the whole game development process works.
