Steve hosts today and talks with Kotaro Fujita. We make fun of Nick, talk about starting as indies, Kotaro’s love of the Cocoas2D, iOS stuff, and how good Wipeout (and its soundtrack were). SORRY ABOUT THE AUDIO QUALITY 🙁

Philly Dev Night Cast EP 7 – Camden Segal

/0 Comments/in /by

Reigning game jam champ Camden Segal brags about his many many trophies in this episode of the Dev Night Podcast. He talks about his early years as a game tinkerer, discovering the Philly Game Jam and overcoming the fear of actually showing up to dev night only to fall in love with it. Camden tells a really interesting story of how jams has shaped him as a designer but how he hasn’t quite cracked storytelling. Definitely a great episode filled with great references to freeware games you’ve never heard of.
