In this first episode I sit down with @lukemuscat (designer of Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride) to talk about his journey through the games industry. We discuss his time at Halfbrick Studios, where he helped create two of mobile gaming's biggest hits, his first startup that was eventually acquired by Snapchat, and his transition to becoming an independent developer and YouTuber.
We also dive into the development of his latest title, Normal Golf Game, along with lessons learned throughout his career, game design philosophy, tooling, and what it really takes to build successful games.
