Parallel timelines and fantastic goals! Hosts Dean Bowman and Susan Marmito are joined by Giles Armstrong, Lead Writer on The Descendant and former Ready Up team member.
• What have you been playing? Giles tells us about the rig he’s rocking in Rocket League, and we quiz him about being a BAFTA henchman. Susan’s been seeing Stardew Valley behind Nintendo’s back, and she might be embracing the farming lifestyle a little bit too much! Dean’s been playing the trendy Salt and Sanctuary, but he’s horribly lost.
• It’s the news! With the Game Developers’ Conference recently finished in San Francisco, we touch on the Playstation VR news, as well as rumours of a new PS4.5, the GDC awards, briefly take a moment to go off-topic and argue about True Detective season 2, then return to discuss some of Giles’s favourite dev talks.
• Guest Spotlight We quiz Giles about his work as a writer and narrative designer including how he got into the industry and what it was like to work on his new game The Descendant with Gaming Corps.
• Two Truths, One Lie It’s time for two truths one lie, but can Giles’ abilities as a professional liar give him the edge over the astute, highly trained minds of the hosts? Buckle up, it’s time to hear about Giles’s Lara Croft cosplay…
