Hello everyone. Episode 7. I feel like we’ve all done something here today. You know what? Take the rest of the week off!
As always, thanks for listening!
Mike Geig is a Technical Evangelist for Unity Technologies where he develops and delivers recorded, live, and onsite learning content. He enjoys loitering and accordions. A gamer at heart, Mike works to make game development fun and accessible for all skill sets. Rumor has it he also wrote a book called “Unity Game Development in 24 Hours”. Mike was once set on fire and has over a million “likes” on Facebook.
Hi, Mom!
Mike Wu has embarked on a second career as an indie developer and budding VR enthusiast. As a designer, artist, and leader, he’s enjoyed working in some of the most popular sci-fi worlds including Star Wars, Halo, and Dead Space. When not tinkering incessantly in Unity, despite a woeful lack of expertise, this Mike has enjoyed teaching game design at the Cleveland Institute of Art and traveling. He now has a gigantic photographic library of reference material that he’s never used, thanks to Google. His anecdotes from working within great development teams are getting old, so enjoy them while they’re fresh!
Hey, first of all: Thank you for your awesome podcast! I really enjoy listening to you regularly and hope that you’ll continue doing this for a long time.
It’s really hard to think of a topic that would be interesting to hear you talk about, just because you make almost everything sound interesting 😛
How you got into the industrie, what skills you think are necessary nowadays to be good in what you do, etc. etc. is always interesting of course, but i’d also like it if you could talk a bit about the genre-shift that happened in the last years.
Like: Why aren’t there more RTS-Games coming out nowadays compared to 10 years ago?
And also how the market has formed to this incredibly huge industrie it now is and how this changed the way games are developed (of course you talked about that before sometimes, but it’d be awesome if you could go more into detail) and maybe some things that really annoy you in the current industry.
Thanks again
Patrick
Thanks for the feedback!
Hello Mike and Mike!
Great podcast! Hope you guys are well.
What are some books about videogames and their creation that you guys recommend? I recently read Masters of Doom and it was an incredible read.
