What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Brian and Ike are great hosts, and have great voices for podcasting. Their talk is full of their experience, and has a good balance between theory and practical tips, in my opinion. Also with a good amount of cheesy silliness to oil the drab parts! Shame that this podcast is over, but thankful for the episodes we have!

SO GOOD. And absolutely worth the time spent listening. I just finished up all the available content on this podcast and, given that the most recent one was published about 2 years ago, I don't anticipate getting any more. If Brian and Ike decide to release any more nuggets of knowledge our way, I'll call it Christmas, but what they've provided through this podcast is already stellar. They focus on the stuff that's timeless, critical in the design of any video game, the formation of any design/development team. They've helped tune my attention to issues that I was missing in my own development efforts. I feel like they've saved me from a few pitfalls, granted me a few shortcuts, and definitely opened my eyes to how much there is to learn. Fantastic podcats. Thank you Brian and Ike, and all my highest recommendations to anyone else who comes across this content.

Dear Brian and Ike, in the last week or so I marathoned the whole of your 25 episodes and it has been invaluable to me while I drive, work, or generally when I'm not at my computer smashing away at Unity tutorials. I haven't been in the game making world for more than a few months unless you count graphic design, computer science and art classes I took in college. So far my favorite episodes have been the AI episode as well the limitless production episode, as well as the other more conceptual episodes. I was hesitant to even search the podcast app for "game design" shows, and I've listened to a couple and your's stands out the most. I simply couldn't imagine what use the medium could be if I can't directly watch a video. (Maybe a YouTube series could be in the works?) you've tackled the topic like a judo fighter and I'm really enjoying it. Thank you for the awesome show, I look forward to the next episode! --A hobbyist.
