Here's an interview with Tom Happ, creator of the games Axiom Verge 1 & 2. Both are some of my favorite Metroidvania games and it was an honor to be able to interview the creator! We discussed a bit about his background and went in deep with some questions about the games - If you're a fan of the series, or just want to hear from the perspective of an accomplished indie game developer, definitely give this a listen! The interview is also available as a video - Links and more info here:  https://www.retrorgb.com/interview-with-axiom-verge-creator-tom-happ.html

Here's an interview with David Haywood aka MameHaze - A 20+ year veteran of the MAME development scene. This was a casual conversation about David's history in the scene, how development's changed from 1999 until now and just the overall state of the MAME project. It was an absolute pleasure talking with him and I hope this is the first of many chats like this one. The interview is available as audio and video files attached to this post and will be on all major podcast networks.

Here's where to find David:

We also discussed a "found" Dreamworks game and you can see footage of it in the following video: https://youtu.be/_wkWmCQmhps

The interview is also available as a video.  More info and links on the main page:  https://www.retrorgb.com/interview-with-david-mamehaze-haywood.html
