episode 99: Episode 99: The Darkside of Development: Company Closures II
What is better than three episodes about the dark underbelly of software development? FOUR episodes about the dark underbelly of software development!! That’s right depressed ladies and gents. It’s that time YET AGAIN! Put grandma and grandpappy to bed, grab a box of tissues, a tub of ice cream, a random picture of Obinna, and any other items needed to lift your spirits, and sit back and enjoy part four of The Darkside of Development.
In this episode, Obinna sits down with former co-workers Mira Marquez, Jim Diaz, and Geoffrey Nahashon to talk company closures, specifically, the closure of the infamous 'Sprockets.' We take a more narrative approach to this episode as we analyze and assess what we think caused the end of the studio. Again, we end the episode with positivity and rainbows to ensure the next generation of game developers leave with a smile on their faces and a pep in their step!
Thanks for tuning in this week and we hope you enjoy the show! Feel free to send any emails with questions you may have about studio closures. Contact us at: thedebuglog@gmail.com
