- Yes yes yes
I discovered Matt Hackett from Valadria and I then found out he was in this. And then. I. Listened. And let me just say: WOW. I listen to a lot of video game podcasts but none like this, that go in depth into how games are actually MADE without being boring. This show is a great time

United States3 years ago - Just two guys living the indie game dev dream.
This is the best game dev podcast on iTunes. Matt and Geoff are excellent hosts with great raport, lots of game dev experience to share, and many stories about their game dev business.

Apple Podcasts5ZanedubyaUnited States7 years ago - Not Just for HTML5 Developers!
I care less than this much -><- about HTML5 game dev, but Lostcast is *still* my single favorite podcast. They discuss game design, game marketing, and tech subjects, and much of the tech talk is generic game dev stuff, not just focused on Javascript. Highly recommended!
Apple Podcasts5Jay JenningsUnited States8 years ago - HTML5 Gamedevs with great general indie perspective
Even if you’re not an HTML5 dev, this team consistently delivers relevant content to gamedev in general. more
Apple Podcasts5@jiiimbotUnited States8 years ago - Love this podcast
This has become one of my favorite "Oh I have to save that and listen to it when I can really enjoy it" podcasts. They are interesting, funny, and very frank about the trials and triumphs of making indie games, and have tips and info for the artist and coder alike. All the thumbs up!
Apple Podcasts5NycterisAUnited States8 years ago - I just realized that I was listening to it all night
From 11:30PM to 8:00AM I was totally invested, then I made breakfast and continued listening.
Apple Podcasts5TimMcGuireUnited States9 years ago - Great work guys!!
Awesome podcast on all things Game Design! Lots of great tangents that reveal a lot more than just Game Design and development… more
