Game Dev Unchained

Jeff Spoonhower tells us how he went from working on (just about) every AAA game ever from the comfort of his own home as a full time developer. Then we explore his reasoning behind going into independent game development and we see how he plans on making his small games big successes. http://www.anewthegame.com/ https://www.facebook.com/anewthegame?__mref=message_bubble http://www.twitter.com/anewthegame https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ8uGY8r92SaQAwZ1Hxl9qg

This week Art Usher gives us the best ways to leave your job, helping you realize when its time to go and how do to it without burning any bridges... All that and more (obviously).

Some hilariously sad but true stories of being a minority in the video game industry. This might be a series we start later depending on how many more stories are out there :) Enjoy.

Environment artist Leo Gonzalez takes us through his epic self taught journey to becoming a AAA game developer. Here why he decided against going to college and instead bet on his ability to teach himself. Also, he thinks Texas is where it's at as far as game development goes these days.

Veara Suon sits down with us to explain how he went from being a video game animator for big games to becoming an animator for blockbuster feature films. With credits ranging from Bioshock, Destiny, Transformers, Ninja Turtles, Avengers, World of Warcraft Movie, and many more...

This week we sit down with Level Designer and Mom, Rosie Katz to talk about the real life of a girl in the game industry. Some jokes, some serious, but all true. Fantastic episode.

This week we reflect on what it's like launching a podcast, and a business. We look at Activision's acquisition of King Games and talk about the Kojima studio shutdown and what we think this means for the industry.

Kurt Papstein took an hour out of his schedule to share the secrets of his success as a digital character artist and Z-Brush expert. Lots to learn this week. We also look at the future of game consoles!

This week we met with Alden Filion, the Art Director of Fugitive Games and talk about their successful Kickstarter campaign for Into the stars. How they got $150,000+ and what you need to do if you want to get your project funded. We also talk about staying indie or going back into AAA, and somehow start a war between Artists and Designers!

AAA Environment Artist Tav Shande has developed applications in his spare time. Recently he achieved 1,000,000 downloads and he sat down with us to walk us through the process and offer advice to app developers out there today.
