Re: Getting Into The Industry

Posted on July 17, 2011June 11, 2019 by Dodger

A viewer on our youtube channel sent me an interesting question: Hey guys, first off, I really appreciate the videos for the insight they give about professional game development. I have been wondering however, how did you guys get into developing videogames? Not necessarily into the industry (although I’d find that interesting as well, I…

Podcast: Developer Commentary: RC2 – Episode 4

Posted on June 22, 2011May 22, 2019 by Dodger

We’re working towards a Monday, Wednesday, (hopefully) Friday update schedule for the Developer Commentary podcast that Tony and I are doing for Ratchet and Clank 2. In that spirit, today we have posted Episode 4, a shorter episode (~18 minutes) wherein Tony and I finish level 2 (a long level) including Arena fights and some…

Podcast: Developer Commentary Podcast Episode 2 is up!

Posted on June 16, 2011May 22, 2019 by Dodger

We go through the second level of Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando. By the time we recorded this we had settled into the task of podcasting enough that we could relax and talk more about development-centric stuff, which was pretty cool. Of course, we still make lots of jokes, so it’s not all serious and…

New Podcast Series

Posted on June 14, 2011May 22, 2019 by Dodger

My good friend and fellow developer Tony “Mr Sunshine” Garcia and I just began a series of “Developer Commentary” videos. First up is Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando — our first game as REAL developers (we were testers on RC1). So far we’ve put up one episode, which gets us to the end of the…

Podcasticness!

Posted on June 9, 2008November 5, 2008 by Dodger

The guys over at the Insomniac Games Full Moon Show podcast were nice enough to have me (and my friend / fellow game developer Tony Garcia) on last Thursday’s show. You can find it here: http://insomniacgames.com/podcast/podcast.php (episode 27). You can also find it on iTunes, if you subscribe to the podcast. That was a lot…

Pocket Change, Entitlement, and Whining

Posted on June 28, 2007May 22, 2019 by Dodger

Kotaku posted an article today about the Resistance MP Map pack coming online tomorrow and, predictably, whined about the price: “This news, not so hot, as they’re going to cost you USD$7.99. For two maps. Give Sony credit, they’re learning some of Microsoft’s online tricks quicker than others.” Now maybe it’s just because I worked…

Random Bloggage

Posted on March 9, 2007March 9, 2007 by Dodger

I don’t have much to muse on this week, so this’ll just be bloggage. I’ve got a post in the works about how to figure out what to steal when stealing from other games… but that’s not ready yet. Hopefully I’ll get that out next week. I’ve noticed that a lot of people “borrow” the…

5 Years is a Long Time

Posted on March 1, 2007May 22, 2019 by Dodger

Well it’s all done tomorrow. Friday is my last day at Insomniac Games. It’s been an awesome five years, and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store. I’m going to be moving over to Obsidian — they made KOTOR II and Neverwinter Nights II. I get to work on this, [2019…
