A Tale of Two Game Devs
A Tale of Two Game Devs
Michael Biggers, Milo Kent-Pettit
A podcast about two friends who aren't video game industry veterans ... but want to be.
The Primal Gamer
Milo is drowning in kittens and getting sicker by the minute, but that won’t stop either him or Mikayla from bringing you a podcast! In this episode of TTGD, the duo chat about thumb parody movies, Pokemon in 3D, and spooky game-designer stand-ins. You better listen quick, though - at the rate Milo was going in the show, he may be too sick to talk by the time you listen to this!

Rootin’, Tootin’, and Loot(box)in’
This town ain't big enough for the two of us… the two of us being, of course, lootbox legislation and games that employ lootbox monetization schemes. It is, however, plenty big to host another episode of TTGD - specifically, one where your hosts talk about Westworld and “mature content” in media, the possible effects of proposed anti-lootbox legislation, and musical level design. Oh, and they also talk about their cats, both of which love to interrupt podcasts. Keep your ears peeled, and you might just hear the little varmints...

“I Don’t Need to Justify My Bananas to You!”
Truth be told, I’m worried for Milo and Mikayla. They did just release this episode of TTGD, after all. And what is this episode, you may ask? Why it’s… something. It’s kind of completely bonkers. Even the title is a… head-scratcher. You should really just listen to it, and maybe you’ll understand why they gave it this title a little bit better than I do.

Welcome back to a new episode of your favorite -kinda-sorta-weekly podcast, A Tale of Two Game Devs! After a second mini-hiatus, Mikayla and Milo catch up on the ends of their semesters, Milo’s broken hands, and Mikayla’s puzzle level generator (it’s for a school project!). Be dazzled by nonsensical technobabble, awed by the body’s ability to self-repair, and heartwarmed by wholesome anime on the latest episode of TTGD - if you’ll give it a listen, that is!

Burnout Paradise
Back in the groove and recording their second episode since they went on a hiatus, Mikayla and Milo are going all over the place with their discussions this time. Milo starts a conversation about burnout, passion, and working standards in game development, Mikayla begins a discussion on narrative design in Halo, The Elder Scrolls, and Mass Effect, and both bring the goods with lots of cool articles and videos for you to watch. Oh, and at one point Mikayla tells you the story of the mobile devs who made $60,000 off of automated slot machines. You’ll want to hear this episode for sure!

We're Back!
Sorry to keep you waiting! After about a month of taking breaks, being busy, and running out of time, Mikayla and Milo have finally found it in them to record an episode of TTGD again. Hear about Mikayla’s trip to GDC, Milo’s wrist troubles, and the engaging design of Tetris 99 on this week’s episode, as well as plenty more that you’ll have to hear for yourself!

Philosophy Cast
We interrupt your regularly-scheduled A Tale of Two Game Devs episode to bring you an awful lot of philosophical treatises! Mikayla and Milo wax poetic in this one, frequently revisiting matters of worldview and personal philosophy, in addition to the usual talk about games in development and school. Hear Mikayla get stressed about work-life balance, Milo gets creative with rainbow blobs, and both get personal about their views on life and passion in this week’s episode!

“Because I care.”
Episode 27 of A Tale of Two Game Devs gets way into the weeds of game development philosophy, and the reasons we make games - or any art, for that matter. We also continue Milo’s journey into the deep, dark pit of anime, and get some development updates on Rainbow BoBo. Oh, and one more thing...we make an important announcement, right at the beginning of the show. If you miss it, you might be very confused come episode 28, so...try not to miss it! :)
