Video games are getting smaller and easier to make every day, and if we can do it, anyone can. Join the developers of Cat President, Internet Court, The Beard in the Mirror and more as we talk about the games we're making, the games we're playing, and how aspiring developers don't have to be "aspiring" anymore; they can just be developers. (And also make dumb jokes. Lots of dumb jokes.)
If you have questions about game development or any of our games, e-mail them to podcast@oharock.com, and we'll answer them on the air!

Customer Reviews
If you’re interested in game development, this show is for you
This show gives a wonderful look into the world of indie games and how game development works now that it’s more accessible than ever. I enjoy hearing about playing games and making games every month and look forward to hearing my questions answered!
Criminally Underrated
Haven’t you ever wondered what goes into the blood, sweat and pizza sauce behind game development?
Or the inner workings of tax code?
Or how hard it is to write a cat love story??
Then why are you still reading this review and not LISTENING?!?!
Great!
The long awaited triumphant return to podcasting for Michael and Paul!!!! Love the podcast!!!
