What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Hey! If you are looking at this in the reviews section I just want to say that this podcast is AMAZING… I’ve listened to every single episode and i’m sad brandon stopped uploading. This has helped me stay motivated while making games, and i can’t wait to release some masterpieces later on! I’ve used scratch for 5 years and i currently have almost a million views on all of my 5 games with a game that stayed on the trending page for over three months. My game is ranked just under #100 on top global scratch projects and my acc has almost 3k followers. I never thought i would want to ever go from scratch to something else, but this podcast has convinced me to move on to godot. It’s been quite a journey and i just want to say to brandon that i hope you fulfill your dreams of being able to do what you love for work. I feel the same way but im only 14 so im not at that point yet. Good luck!

Brian is the perfect example of someone following their dream to make indie games full-time. You can be sure he k it’s what he’s talking about because he lives this day-in and day-out. His videos and podcasts are chalk full of relevant wisdom for any one interested in game development.

BradburnFamily · Jul 2023

I have only listened to one episode and I’m already hooked and the upload rate is much better than my other game dev podcasts and this podcasts is t just straight interviews over and over this podcast is much like Zackavelli’s game dev field guide podcasts it teaches and helps new devs learn rather than just interviews
