Jnoodle LIVE?!

"Game development is more accessible than ever, but to many it is a quiet and abstract world. Perhaps it's the topic itself that needs de-mystifying? Let's take relatively-unknown, relatable game-devs into an unscripted podcast/roundtable discussion, documenting the process of project planning and execution. To top it off, let's make the platform a live-stream, where folks can feed us their questions about game dev experiences, weaknesses, and expertise."  - Fallon Braddy

My dear friend from New Zealand, Robin Hughes, is the culprit behind this brainchild adventure and what he is calling Jnoodle LIVE!  We have collaborated remotely over the years on some very exciting projects, some of which have yet to see the light of day, but all rich sources of learning.  Even if you are not a fan of game design, you'll want to watch just to hear that awesome Kiwi accent we all love.

Fallon Braddy and I go waaaay back and honestly, he's a real life polymath. He also has a ton of streaming experience.  Many moons ago he was an amazing president of the after school game design club that I advised. Now, he tours the country composing and playing his own music, streams jams and let's plays, is a Fusion master, author, good friend and fellow collaborator.

Currently, I participate in an indie dev small group with these characters,  meeting monthly via video chat to be safely accountable and encouraging to each other in year long personal projects of our own choosing.  As the group 'leader' I am also touching base with the other small group leaders as we attempt to spread the love and grow the small group model.  I'm guessing many more would love to join and benefit in this process but don't really know what to expect and might appreciate a peak behind the scenes to alleviate their concerns.

I'm sure Robin and Fallon have their own reasons, but it is my hope that Jnoodle LIVE! will be a catalyst that gets you taking that first step and completing one of your passion projects within the loving embrace of a small group.

Once we work out the software choice pipeline kinks and do a few more practice sessions we'll let you know when we're ready.  To be notified please LIKE below or Follow HERE.
