Had such a great time chatting to these lads! From truly touching moments, to left-of-field indie marketing wins, hard-edged production chatter, and tales of all the college degrees none of them now use, this has every hallmark of indie brilliance in the most perfectly Butterscotch Shenanigans way.

We’ve all heard of Helldivers 2’s success. But did you know that prior to launch, morale at Arrowhead was lower than it had ever been? They had no idea their game was any good. Johan’s honesty about the challenges of leading a team through 8 years of dev with no end in sight is not to be missed.

Chatting with Tom has been an utter delight for many years, so to do it on the podcast for the benefit of others was a real treat. There’s a particular kind of humble methodicalness in Tom’s approach to design that I’ve always loved and he goes to great lengths in this ep sharing his process. Enjoy!
