Beyond Game Design

Matthew Hutchinson

The Beyond Game Design Podcast is a Long form conversation where we have deep dives with game industry veterans in every discipline, ranging from Design, Art , Marketing, Publishing and beyond. In each episode I try to pick the minds of my friends and former and current colleagues to extract the tools, mindsets and strategy for their success in the game industry. The goal of the Beyond Game Design podcast to learn about and grow the community while celebrating developers you have not heard of. I hope the lessons learned from this Podcast will help others grow in their field.
