Long time Video Game Developer Veteran Jake Simpson talks with various friends and colleagues about their years in Game Dev. Each installment is an hour long conversation with the unsung heroes of Video Game development; people who are not household names, but are still at where the rubber meets the road, when it comes to making games. Each interviewee describes their career, talking about the companies they have worked at, the games they’ve worked on, telling stories and giving previously unseen or heard background to some legendary games. And Jake himself lobs in comments and some stories of his own!Copyright 2022 All rights reserved. Science Fiction
