So what is the Dev to Dev Podcast?

Alex Sulman @peculiarpelican.bsky.social · Sep 1

Expanding the details of why I made the podcast "Dev to Dev" and what it's trying to reveal about videogame development...

Dev to Dev is a podcast about the everyday video game developers and why they do what they do every day — the designers, animators, engineers, producers, artists, and audio specialists who's work rarely makes the headlines, but many of our favourite games would definitely miss! After nearly three decades in the industry myself, working alongside countless developers whose contributions were vital but often overlooked, I felt inspired to explore those stories.
