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!

This week, we discuss some new VR Tech, specifically the Pimax 5k (reviewed on Craft Computing here), and computer hardware because Rett is going to CES next week! Then we deep dive into things to consider when developing a game character. We read this article which inspired us to think about what makes a character stand out. Let us know your approach when designing a character!

It was Rett’s birthday last weekend, and he’s back to tell us about Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Taylor is taking a swing at a new job. And fiction is sometimes sexist, who knew! /s
