Customer Reviews
Is good
Is good I don’t no whaat to tell u
Very Informative and Interactive Podcast
I love this podcast and it has been a wealth of knowledge for someone who wants to get into game development as a hobby or even a career. Zack has set up a great community on discord for people to talk about their own projects and help each other out, and has provided inspiration to a lot of us who are learning this art. I know my game will be much better because I have taken use of his advice given on this podcast.
Great show
Love listening to this show on road trips, lots to learn and think about. Zackavelli is a great host and is wonderful at writing the episodes
