Episode description

Taylor and Rett are joined by special guest host, Jon Dodson, the creator and caretaker of cheerfulghost.com, which published the indie title, Starship Rubicon. We discuss what it meant to publish a game, his role in the development, and the lessons he learned along the way.

Jon schools us on the game dev and indie game scene in Portland, Oregon. Tells us about running Cheerful Ghost. And then they enter lifehacks territory and fall down the rabbit hole of the philosophy of gaming.
