With the eclipse on the books today, we stepped away from the excitement to have a chat with Andrew Hughes of Designing Digitally. We started with a discussion on one of Designing Digitally’s VR games coming to Steam, then Andy turned the train by throwing out a question. He asked if we shared our PowerPoints that we obtained from conference presentations with other people in the office. It spurred a lot of chatter in the scrolling chat and on screen and led to some interesting answers. Be sure to scroll up while you listen to the playback.
