Destin Asks Questions At A Big Video Game Convention (PAX West) - Smarter Every Day 291B

Try Fish Game on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/1372150/Fish_Game/ This was a lot of fun! I had no idea game designers thought so deeply about this.

Wait til Destin discovers Kerbal Space Program

That Impulse developer is an amazing dude, and you did a great job at making him communicate better and feel comfortable on the spot!

Inpulse dev here. Thank you Destin for the awesome interview! I'll be back again at PAX this year! I'm glad to be able to bring this genre to more people

I love the way he just casually clips microphones to people 😅

The Venn diagram of my life is largely covered in this video. I love that Destin meets Keith Baker, a well known designer in the tabletop gaming world, and has no idea who he is.

Hearing Destin ask questions about roguelikes the exact same way he asks questions about submarine propulsion makes me really happy.

I'm a game developer. It's so cool to see people that aren't game developers trying to learn about game development. It reminds me of my early days getting into it, everything feels so magical. I imagine this is the same with any job you do out of passion, even though you love it, you lose a bit of that magic over time, so its nice to see others get excited about it to remind you, that magic still exists in the people that use what you make.

56:35 "It's cool to talk to an engineer" What a legend. It's going to be hard to wait for his next game.

oh no, he sold destin on roguelikes, it's over

lol, referring to Gabe and Tycho as "popular dudes". I love it. Penny Arcade started life as a web comic in 1998. In the almost 26 years since they have grown a web comic about a couple of dudes who like video games and make crude jokes into a gaming media empire. PAX was originally a tiny get together of fans, and turned into essentially one of the primary gaming conventions in the world. Also, they are huge nerds. The "Tycho" character is directly named after Tycho Brahe, the Danish astronomer. They have also helped raise tens of millions of dollars for children's hospitals through their charitable foundation, Child's Play.

Nate is the most passionate person i have seen in a long while.

Destin is so sweet lol. I love how nice he was to the guy with the speed running game. The guy glossed over what speed running was so fast and Destin just held on haha

Inpulse dev is a very good friend of mine. Hes very passionate and its always so amazing to see him actually making his dreams come true. I think no matter what the circumstances he would be making games like this, but thanks to the mario and indie community he has tons of support.

1:26:50 As an avid board gamer, I almost died when Destin asked "What is a Meeple?" 😂 It's one of those questions that has an easy answer, but is incredibly difficult to explain

can you please go to pax more often? these are some of the best developer interviews i've seen in a long while. not just about their game but all these other thoughts they have about gaming itself. really amazing video! thanks.

Almost clicked away when seeing the length, but I have trust in Destin. What a wonderful video, thank you!

Destin recognizing bad apple made me feel very strange

I feel like Destin would absolutly love Outer Wilds. Space Physics based game where the only way to progress through a time loop is by learning things about the world

Ok, I'm sorry, you just casually shook hands with Keith Baker and brushed right on my?! That man is incredible and has done so many projects that i LOVE. So cool!
