Episode 135 – Interview with Tony Warriner Part 2
After an unexpected hiatus we are back and this week Tony Warriner joins again for the second on this podcast. Tony is of course the co-founder of Revolution Studios and one of the lead developers of the Broken sword series and Beneath A Steel Sky and he is writing a book tentatively called “from 8bits to Revolution”. This book will be about how he started in the video game industry, the founding of revolution and he goes behind the scnes on all the games Revolution made until 2015. Tony talks to Seoirse about how he hopes the book will help other game devs, how this very podcast gave him the idea to write the book(!), and he reveals what is actually like to work with some publishers. He also gives some intriguing insights into what the future may have in store for him. All that and murch more!
