In the newest episode of the show I chat with Tarn Adams, the programmer behind the cult-classic PC colony simulator Dwarf Fortress.

We discuss how Dwarf Fortress sprang to life unexpectedly at Bay 12 Games, the company that Tarn and his brother Zach have been running for nearly two decades, as well as what’s in store for the future for the game and how their unique approach to game development has carved out a special place in the annals of video game history.

I felt like there was no better person to bring on the show to discuss eSports than one of the best professional gamers in the world: Fatal1ty.

Johnathan Wendel joins me in this week’s episode to discuss 25 years worth of experience in the competitive gaming scene as a twelve time world champion in title such as Quake III Arena, Unreal Tournament 2003, Painkiller, and more. He also talks about the Fatal1ty brand and what he’s up to nowadays (spoiler alert: he’s streaming).

Billy Joe Cain is back at it again. And this time, it is the finale.

BJC was the first interview I conducted for the show and it was dynamic because he had a lot of personal experiences to share with me throughout his long relationship with games. I’m excited that I get to finally showcase the Radical Empathy Education Foundation, BJC’s foray into virtual reality game development that serves a greater purpose. Trapped: A VR Detective Story is a great implementation of the noir genre that puts players in the thick of the mystery in case that involves the realities of the world of human trafficking and how it is right under our noses.

You can read more about BJC and Trapped on today’s shownotes on kakebytes.com.
