Hello everyone! It has been so, so long but we finished recording 2 new episodes about both of us (@keewonhong and @bobbylox) releasing our games! We'll be back soon with new content and a new name!

[ChiGametrepreneur @CGSPod]

Congrats to co-host @bobbylox on the release of Codemancer! It’s not only an important educational tool but a great game as well. It’s been a long and fun ride to watch it all come together, and we couldn’t be more proud. #gamedev #IndieGameDev -#indiedev

Looking great @BigSirGames!

Cosmo's Quickstop is about everyone's dream job - interstellar gas station management! Equal parts charming, quirky and stressful, this game balances quick action and thoughtful planning. With enough skill, you'll soon have the best rest stop in space!

Hey Chicago! Have you heard yet??

[ChiGametrepreneur @CGSPod]

We love both options but looks like 'Friendly Neighborhood Indies' is your winner!

[ChiGametrepreneur @CGSPod]

We're brainstorming new names for the podcast and other future ideas...what do you prefer? We like 'Friendly Neighborhood Indies' or 'Indie Superfriends' right now, but feel free to reply with other suggestions too.

This is the way to do it!

[ChiGametrepreneur @CGSPod]

Some great stuff here from friend of the pod Chris Wade...especially liked the practical tips on how to make unlock rewards feel great and handling the fine tuning of camera control.

Blog post on Sausage Sports Club game design!

[ChiGametrepreneur @CGSPod]

For sure - will reach out when I start solidifying plans.

[ChiGametrepreneur @CGSPod]

Let's talk 2019! 1) Would like to do more pods, after @bobbylox and I finish up our games. Considering short solo pods for #gamedev (maybe with guest hosts) 2) Want to start local #IndieGame newsletter/IG account, more on that soon. 3) Start local IRL play parties for Indies

[ChiGametrepreneur @CGSPod]

Congrats!

Boot Hill Bounties was released at the end of 2017, just over a year ago. I'm glad it was able to get some recognition as a "Late Bloomer" here! https://t.co/yXnBJcvBFC

Pod co-host @BobbyLox ponders whether #GameDesign properly belongs alongside art or under the umbrella of design: https://t.co/5ZxtL3EyD2
