GAME DEV’S QUEST e07: BLAST OFF

This was recorded the same week that Game Dev’s Quest launched! (to give a peak behind the curtains.) Taylor and Rett talk about launching the show, and podcasting in general. And they bought tickets to fly to Japan.
Rett binged on Writing Excuses, a podcast dedicated to helping people learn the craft of writing. And Taylors spends some time with Monument Valley.

As far as coding goes they focus on putting the finishing touches on the intro into their console RPG, and add some color to the recently added ASCII art.

Rett challenges Taylor to stay away from the news.

GAME DEV’S QUEST e01.1: A NEW DIRECTION (GDQ CHECK-IN)

Taylor and Rett interrupt their normal recording schedule to do a late night check-in after Rett hits a wall. They talk about getting back to basic C# fundamentals (the basis of Rett’s problem), and discuss a new direction for their project.

Taylor invites Rett to work with him on a console application, separate from their unity project, and they waste no time getting to work.
