Eric Peterson hops on over to talk about the joys of hobbyist game development, the things that need to change in professional game development (even when compared to other parts of tech), and the cultural importance of drawing little guys.
You can find a bunch of Eric’s work on his Linktree, and specifically on his Itch.io.
You can also follow Eric on Twitter.

• Here’s our conversation with Jerry Belich about, among other thingsm Alt.ctrl.
• Drew has absolutely been referring Big Bad Beetleborgs as Bad Bad Beetleborgs, charmed by the misremembered repetition, for decades.
• Eric says “this the season” for witchy vibes, which indeed it was when we spoke. And of course, in a very important sense, it always is.
• Here’s that scene from Jurassic Park, recreated in Dreams.
• This recent episode of This Machine Kills has a good summary of the labor actions taking place throughout, specifically, the US.
• If you have a few spare bucks, consider donating a few to Medical Aid for Palestinians, Palestine Legal, or If Not Now. There is also lots you can do, especially if you’re in the US.
