Podcast: The Indie Episode by XBOXZA

edg3

Hey guys,

The Xbox South Africa PR Manager (Graeme Selvan) recorded a podcast in JHB this last Tuesday, he spoke to the zX Hyperblast guys (@retroFuture, @karuji), the Bear Chuck guy (@tuism), and @daverussellsa.

Xbox South Africa is officially on podcast # 2.
This month we chat to two local indie development studios. What does it take to make your own game? What should you study and use to develop your own game? All your questions answered by people involved in crafting the things we love in episode two of the XBOXZA Podcast.

Also, we want to organise more of these (and start a more development focussed podcast too!).

Share your thoughts!

Did we take any photos while doing the podcast? Man I completely forgot about that. I really dig the loose vibes of the equipment being pro and us being chilled at the MS office :)

Thanks again for the awesome opportunity, I really really enjoyed it!

I was going to but was sure my camera would be noisy and ruin the whole recording!

Karuji

I just realized how weird some of my inflections are O_o like one word was American sounding, the next English, and the next South African.

Tuism

My lesson learnt: A-NUN-CEE-ATE EH-VERR-EEE-THINGGGG

Tuism

Karuji

@RickyGC you are on the forums and being enthusiastic. Step one. Step two post a game ;) after that you kinda just keep on walking.
