      5. Future Proof Podcast 016 - The Survey Edition

        Merry Chrimmus! Y'all know it's a special episode because I gave it a proper title. Listen to this month's episode below or read the transcript online.

        This month's episode is special because we're joined by Dr. Lucy Arnold of Liminal Consulting. She designed the community survey that we ran this fall, and hopped into the podcast to talk about her initial reading of the results. You can find her over on Twitter or reach out to her via email.

        We also talk about our efforts to help people ignore each other on our Exploit: Zero Day Discourse forums, including a plugin we wrote.

      6. Future Proof Podcast 015

        Happy November! Listen to this month's episode below or read the transcript online.

        We cover a bunch of fun things:

        • Our ongoing community survey over at futureproofgames.com/2019survey! Help spread the word and get the survey out to folks you know. Taking the survey gets you a copy of "The Majesty of Colors", so that's all the more reason.
        • Some old-timey bugs getting fixed in Exploit: Zero Day. It's a relief to get them off our plate! BTW, EZD is open and free to play, and we'd love to have you join in the fun.
        • "Cultivating Insurgency" next steps, including new units we're designing. The initial version is available for free (or pay what you want) on itch.io. Guerilla gardening on Wikipedia, as promised.
        • Our Future Proof Plays schedule has a home you can refer to! The Tôtem stream archive is over on YouTube. You can send us short game recommendations on Twitter, Facebook, or as a comment on this post.
        • You can subscribe to this here podcast in Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Play, or via RSS feed.

        • Future Proof Podcast 014

          We're back in action! Listen to this month's episode below or read the transcript online.

          We cover a few topics:

          • Our community survey is out! It's the first time we've done a wide push to get advice and feedback of this sort, and we appreciate everyone who fills it out.
          • "Cultivating Insurgency", which is now available for free (or pay what you want) on itch.io.
          • The release of "burn burn burn"! It's the next job in "Headless Swarm", which can be purchased for $4.99 USD.
          • Our new server maintenance processes, which are increasingly leveraging Ansible. Curious about how devops applies to game development in general? Checkout out our not-entirely-finished "DevOps in Game Dev" series.
