I have listened to every episode up to the latest (95 by the time I’m writing this review) but I’m unsubscribing because I no longer tolerate anyone who follows and normalises racists (esp. violent racist such as Azmingol - or whatever his name is). Zachavelli made a reference to him in episode 95, which normalises him and his behaviour and suggests that Zackavelli follows the racists. It’s a shame. Hopefully, Zackavelli removes or edits that episode and clarifies his position.

I have never needed any other podcast. I’m twelve and already think I’m an intermediate! It’s only been one year. You, Zackavelli, are deemed most bestest, amazingest, and greatestest game dev teacher ever. You really put heart and soul into your podcast. You say little things that go a long way. Thank you for support in my dev years. I use Unreal Engine. Please don’t be angry. I still love Unity. I’ve made two full games and 20+ unfinished games on there. I just fit better with Unreal. I never really like Godot. To me, these are the big three game engines (Just like you! We have so much in common!). Please continue making these. Have you tried Unreal Engine? Please make an episode on easter eggs! With love, me. Edit: I’m fourteen now and have am working on a title that’s called Echoes of Ash. I’m it’s far from done, but it’s shaping up to be a triple A title. It’s going well. This podcast has been just a useful resource. You’re an awesome host. Keep up the good work.

Where is aprils episode?!?!?

Love this content. Useful info, but there is no backup for any of the claims this one guy is making. Seems a bit uncredible.

MASSIVE fan of this podcast. The topics, speed, and approachability are perfect for anybody who wants to become a game developer. I take away at least a few things from every single episode. Keep on keeping on! Edit: 2 years later while doing game dev full time, I’m still listening. Still highly educational and on point for every episode.

As a beginner developer other podcasts were ok and I enjoyed hearing from professionals about how they resolve issues and navigate the industry. But it was entertainment with almost no substance to take home. This podcast changed all of that. I’ve gone through and picked episodes that seemed relevant to what I wanted to learn about and they’ve all been so enjoyable I’m now going back to listen to the rest. The amount of actionable advice in this series is unmatched, especially considering it’s not a step by step tutorial.

Really good podcast. As an indie game dev, this is a goldmine of good advice.

This is the most helpful and fun podcast ever! I have been interested in game dev since I was seven and I'm eleven, but I'm only at beginner level. I was looking for a good podcast on game dev but none of the ones I listened to were very helpful, that is until I stumbled across this one! I love the Game Idea Jam/Game Dev Challenge but I can't participate being not old enough to have Discord or Twitter. I can't say it enough that I love this podcast!!!

Is good I don’t no whaat to tell u also u should do an episode on Easter eggs.

If I say anything I’ll just end up copying the guy to the right/down of me so what they said ——> | | ¥

I’ve listened to this show for a few years now, and though I haven’t gotten the courage to start game dev myself yet, I’ve seen the community build around this podcast, and it motivates me to want to start. On top of that, the host is so accessible in the advice he brings, and keeps the content interesting and clear while still being informative. I’m incredibly grateful to have this podcast available for when I need it, and I’ll continue listening for fun until then!

Whether you’re a current or aspiring game developer, this show is a must listen! It’s an exceptional resource that’s packed with unparalleled insights on all things game dev. Highly recommend!

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.

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

Grandmas boy?????????

I really enjoy the consistent format of the show from episode to episode. As a non-tech working in gaming, I learn so much from your explanations and examples - love the accessibility of the content for non-dev audiences!

I am starting to learn Unity and beginner podcasts like this help out sooo much. Please keep going!

Recently came across this podcast and I am enjoying listening to the advice and conversation. Thanks for putting this out there.

Super helpful with game dev. Highly recommend!

Hi I’m just getting into game dev and this podcast is very helpful. Could you please recommend some helpful unity tutorials? Thank you so much for helping!

Everything about this podcast is great! Found this a little while ago and already almost out of episodes! Would recommend to any gamedev, from complete beginner to professional.

How have I never heard of this podcast? Listened to the first episode and then blew through the rest. Really helped me creating projects on unreal!!

If you looking to start development as a hobby this a great starting point

Extremely helpful and fun to listen to!

The title says it all.

Great show

Listened to every episode now and can say that it has helped me get a breadth of knowledge about game dev.
