Is there any vidya podcast that doesn't feature low T soyboys?

>>15305433

Yeah fuck that group of beta shit heads

>>15305548

All the high Ts are at the gym or playing video games.

I dunno about podcasts, but look up these:

Fallout 1 Post Mortem

Deus Ex Post Mortem

Diablo Post Mortem

Making Of Halo 3

Bungie Vidocs

Super NES Graphics Breakdown

G4 Icons

I am in the same spot OP, doing that /agdg/ work makes me crave that sort of stuff.

>Making Of Halo 3

>not the Making of Halo 2

The Halo 2 developer documentary is arguably the most candid look at AAA game development to exist. Over and over again you get to hear phrases like, "we screwed up" and "the game isn't fun". I don't think anything quite like it will ever be made again.

I think the Halo 2 documentary is a great look into how NOT to do things, Halo 3 being how you should.

Podcasts eat too much time that you could otherwise spent doing something.

The only streams I ever tried to watch are Jonathan Blow's development streams about him making a programming language and a game engine. And it is fairly interesting stuff and all. But still, spending four or more hours just sitting and watching a video is something I'm incapable of doing.

Tom Francis is the creator or some nice games.

He made "gunpoint" (a small stealth/hacking/puzzle game with a level editor and a short campaign), "floating point" (a totally free tiny game about swinging around in a 2D environment, very fun and comfy), "morphblade" (a hex based combat puzzle game) and "heat signature" (an open space pirating/mercenary work game).

He semi regularly releases videos about thee development of his projects, from "so I had this idea" to "I am currently thinking about a release date". He not only does almost everything himself, but he is very open about everything and likes to talk about issues he encountered and how he tries to get around them.

I a farmer, I like to listen to some while put in the field, so I AM doing something while listening, feeding your sorry ass.

SO NOW

The point of them is to listen while you're doing something, but it's all cool.

audiobooks > podcasts. Listen to something actually worthwhile

>>15308234

I'd listen to audiobooks if I had the money, most audio books seem to be like $15-20.

Also have had terrible luck picking good ones, will pick a good book, but the reader is the worst, either sleep inducing monotone, or makes weird distracting voices.

Raycevick(objective focused minimal opinions) and Smudboy(He gives his opinions about writing and story construction-Plot Analysis) ,both are on YouTube

>>15305379

Check out some GDC lectures. They're not all SJW shit, there are plenty of really great ones by cool developers.

Most gaming podcasts are made by the same kind of over-opinionated faggots who run games journalism websites. Meaning they've got experience as parasitic "insiders" who constantly pester game devs and PR shills for info, but their understanding of the overall process is limited. Most of the time, they just gossip about dumb shit. I know you asked for game dev podcasts, but I bring up journos and similar faggots because when a game dev wants to talk about their process, they usually end up on the podcast of some faggot journos or ex-journos, where they get asked stupid questions for a couple hours or get baited into discussing identity politics.

I listen to Mark Brown and RetroAhoy.
