Taylor is a homeowner, Rett is sick? And everyone has new jobs. With life rushing by at full speed neither have furthered their own game dev’s quest. But perhaps with a home and hearth of his own, life may again equalize for half of our heroes. Only time will tell…
This is a windy one. We pull our usual when we don’t have a topic lined up: BS for an hour like good friends do. This week, we talk about Game of Thrones (no spoilers), Lost, Rett’s musical, and a deep dive on an ethical conundrum with one of our favorite metal bands growing up. Enjoy!
This week, Taylor is back! Rett talks more about his recent interview and recording a solo episode. Taylor recounts his trip to Las Vegas, including what felt like a near death experience, and some of the development projects he has been working on.
Rett is solo this week while Taylor is away on vacation. He recalls his desire to say “no” more often than he says “yes” and how the stress of over-commitment has impacted GDQ and his pursuit of game dev.
Then Rett fields some questions from listeners just like you!
This week is a bit of a hodgepodge episode, with conversations about cats and emergency vet visits, snow storms, building computers, documentaries, and our fascination with fraud.
This is the second episode in our Design Pattern of the Week series, where Taylor discusses the Observer pattern and the C# implementation of this using Events and Delegates.
We made it! Episode 100! Thank you everyone who helped us get this far! We are astonished by all of the awesome game developers we have met and the community that has formed around us over the last two years! You all are fantastic and we hope that our journey has helped you in some way!
This week, we talk about everything from cat abortions to Fyre Festival, but we are most excited about our gamedev give away! Thanks to an amazingly generous donor, we will be offering two random winners a gamedev package that includes Game Maker Studio 2 Desktop, Rytmik Ultimate, and Aseprite. All you need to do is tweet #GDQY2GIVEAWAY with a game idea you’d like to make with these applications and you’ll have a chance to win. At retail price, these three programs would cost over $150, so this is an amazing package and we are so thankful to our anonymous donor! We will contact the winners after episode 104 has aired.
In the meantime, get excited for a minor GDQ overhaul coming in a few weeks!
Rett is back! Taylor shares how trying this week has been on his personal life. And both of them are working on a project together. They share what little they can. Then Rett talks about composing video game music and time he’s spent studying it.
