  • Great guests, great host, great show

    Love this podcast!

    Wookash has a hand for what guests are interesting and is incredibly good at guiding conversations. I just love how natural and humerus he is. :D

    I would like to see some guests that aren’t from the gaming industry.

    Personally, I’d like to hear some more niche stuff, maybe some Emacs / editors. The Mini.nvim episode was awesome! Other programming languages like Swift could be cool too. Maybe even some BSD / operating systems, but not from a “we talk about Linux distros” that ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Makes a Great RPG? | Simon Carter
Q: How did you approach technical architecture and tooling when you expanded from a small team to larger studios for Fable 2?
We structured with clear discipline leads and modular components, separating editing, game logic, and rendering. We introduced an editor in .NET, an asset build system, and a component-based entity framework, while ensuring teams could scale without losing creative momentum, though effective communication remained a constant challenge.
What Makes a Great RPG? | Simon Carter
Q: Can you tell me a bit about the pre-production process for Fable and how the wishworld concept evolved?
The idea started as merging Chaos and Magic Carpet inspirations into a dynamic, terrain-deforming world where players could summon creatures, alter landscapes, and build a castle. After publishers showed interest then faded, the team pivoted to leverage the same technology toward the eventual Fable concept, combining storytelling with living simulation.
Why C++ Keeps Getting Bigger
Q: How does backward compatibility affect C++ evolution?
Backwards compatibility often slows feature evolution, but interoperability and a stable ABI are valued; the guest notes that C and C++ grew apart during the OO era and argues for a balanced approach that preserves legacy while enabling modern improvements.
Why C++ Keeps Getting Bigger
Q: What core principles guide good library design in C++?
The guest argues for composable abstractions, avoiding clashes, and strong consistency, with an emphasis on having library abstractions act like uniform structures so users can reason about them predictably, while also embracing genericity and structural encapsulation.
Implementing File Pilot feature on stream!
Q: Do you only use MSVC to compile it as a toolchain?
The guest confirms MSVC is used currently, with some openness to other compilers like Clang, but MSVC is the default for the project at the moment.
