Going through the latest episode now and man, this is a really enjoyable listen.

Really liked the deep dive we got into Moon and Thomas sounds like a very down to earth person.

It's always fascinating to hear a creator talk about creating.

Listening to ep 8, should have had a thread for the ep alone. Loads of juice from a great moon interview.

Feel free to make one, we could use the subs/publicity.

I'd ping Shpeshal Ed here or via Twitter, he'll get you in!

I'll be at the Thursday night event in an Xboxera t-shirt.

But we do! It should be displayed like this in all browsers (certainly is in mine!)

Monday's commute sorted. Always a good listen.

Is this the last one for the year or are you still planning on putting one out between Xmas and New Year's Eve? Didn't you have a guest lined up or did that get postponed?

Next episode is scheduled for December 29th, and we'll have the dev responsible for The Falconeer, Tomas Sala.

Dan Houser is the co-founder and president of creativity at Rockstar Games. As well as producing video games, Houser was the head writer for Rockstar Games, being the lead for Bully, Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3. He has also written, or co-written, almost all of the titles in the Grand Theft Auto series.

On 4 February 2020, Rockstar Games' parent company, Take-Two Interactive, announced his resignation from Rockstar Games, and that it will take effect starting 11 March 2020. The rumours are that Dan Houser was not happy with the pressure Take-Two Interactive is putting upon Rockstar Games to increase their output of games.

My question to you guys running the podcast is should Phil Spencer pull out all stops to bring Dan Houser to Xbox Game Studios, even if this means building a studio from the ground up around him like they did The Initiative with Darrell Gallagher?

Shpeshal Ed mentioned Compulsion Games in the latest podcast and how quiet they have been. I have included some links below which includes 2 exciting developers hired as well as The Iron Lords Podcast from January which had a special guest from Compulsion Games. Maybe the XboxERA Podcast could get Naila Hadjas on as a special guest?

Compulsion Games Hires AAA Talent for Unannounced New IP

"The first new hire is Dominique Cote, who previously worked for Eidos-Montréal on games like Thief(2014), Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Cote has joined Compulsion as of this month with the role of Senior Technical Artist. Another new Compulsion dev is Maxim Archetto, who worked alongside Cote on Thief and Deus Ex and previous to that spent time at Ubisoft. Archetto specializes in quest-building and narrative design and joins Compulsion as the Senior Narrative Designer."

I've been listening to this for the past few weeks (since the Ed Fries episode). I enjoy it.

I also really enjoyed the episode with the Hypercharged guy. He was very enthusiastic and proud of his team's work.

They usually stream it on Youtube on a Saturday night (UK time), so it's nice to have it on the background.

Tonight's episode features Tom Warren, Senior Editor at The Verge.
