Episode 1: Hello World

April 27, 2015

In our first episode, we set out to do the impossible: define what the games industry looks like in 2015.


As it turns out, things aren’t as simple as they used to be. For example:



  • What does “triple-A” game development mean?
  • What constitutes an “indie game”? How do you distinguish between Frozen Synapse and Frog Fractions?
  • Where do consumers and creators fit into this complicated ecosystem?

We hope you enjoy this first episode and encourage you to stick around — we’ll have new episodes every week. In the meantime, please let us know what you think.
