Still Loading #416: Metal Arms, StarCraft Ghost and Game Development w/ Scott Goffman

Metal Arms: Glitch in the System is an under loved game but it is also a game that was very impactful to me as a kid. I did an episode on Metal Arms close to a decade ago and while I do want to revisit the game for the show I'm not quite there yet. So I figured the next best thing is to get one of the developers who worked on the game on the podcast to talk about it! I'm joined by Scott Goffman on this episode. Scott was one of the founders of Swingin' Ape Studios, the developer of Metal Arms, and I had SO much fun getting to pick is brain about his time working on the game as well as his time in the games industry in general. We talk about how he got his foot in the door of the games industry, what it was like working on Hydro Thunder, the origins of Metal Arms and Swingin' Ape Studios and so much more. I'm hoping to get more developers from Swingin' Ape Studios on the show to talk about their work on the game and in the games industry so keep an eye out for future interviews!
