<![CDATA[Dev to Dev]]>Dev to Dev is the podcast about everyday Videogame Developers and why they do what they do every day - the many folks whose work shapes the games we play.

Hosted by Alex Sulman, a veteran of nearly three decades in the industry, the show highlights the passion, challenges, and personal journeys of those often overlooked in gaming’s spotlight.

Inspired by Greg Miller’s 2015 Game Awards speech recognizing a developer in the credits of a game he'd just finished, Dev to Dev continues that spirit of appreciation, giving voice to the people behind the craft.

Each week, the podcast aims to offer thoughtful, positive conversations about connection, creativity, and the human side of game development, providing insight into both the rewards and personal challenges of making video games a livelihood.

He told me straight up: "I would never claim to be a world-class game designer." What he's spent thirty years building instead is something almost nobody talks about: the ability to sit between two people who don't understand each other and make a deal happen anyway.

Jay started as an English Literature major with zero interest in games as a career — the games industry basically didn't exist as a career when he was in college. He fell into it through a beer-money job testing games, and from there built one doing things nobody had a manual for: inventing contracts one country at a time before digital distribution existed, translating for movie studios and museums who had no idea how games worked, and eventually running scouting for publishers who couldn't articulate what they actually wanted.

He also told me one of the most honest burnout stories I've heard on this podcast — an ulcer, throwing up blood at 4am, and quitting on the spot the day a manager told him to just stay quiet behind a closed door during layoffs. If you've ever felt like this industry asks too much of the people who love it most, this one's going to hit.

Highlights:

  • The floating cube that sold an entire publishing deal — no playable demo required
  • How one careless word nearly got him in real trouble with the Smithsonian
  • Why Nickelodeon's character bible for Dora the Explorer remains the gold standard of licensing paperwork
  • The exact moment — mid-ulcer, told to hide during layoffs — he quit with no plan
  • Why every young developer needs to understand "the Hollow Knight problem" before picking a genre

Go give this one a listen — it's a masterclass in staying indispensable to an industry for thirty years without ever writing a line of code.

What gets me about Steven's career is how little of it he actually planned. He failed his way out of a computer science degree at Glasgow, and it was his Mum who pushed him toward Abertay's games course — one of only two in the world at the time. He burned out hard on his first industry job in Japan and quit on the spot the day it shipped. He recovered by playing World of Warcraft, and it was, once again, his Mum who pointed out that people actually make that game for a living. Twenty years later, he's still there.

Every "failure" in his story turned out to be a redirect. I don't think you can plan for that — you can only trust it when it happens.

Highlights:

  • Growing up on a proto-console called the Grandstand, and a Pac-Man handheld that started it all
  • Failing nearly every class at Glasgow University except geography
  • Landing at Abertay — one of only two game-specific computer science courses in the world
  • A year in Japan, fifty cold applications, and a job on Sonic Riders that ended in burnout
  • The unforgettable Blizzard interview: handwritten algorithms faxed into a grainy video call
  • Seventeen years on WoW's tools team, and what it's taught him about institutional knowledge

Go give this one a listen — Steven's honesty about the parts of his career that didn't go to plan is exactly why I wanted to have him on.

Highlights:

  • Matthew Brunhofer went to LA to write for WWE, took a Square Enix QA contract to pay rent, and felt more at home there than he expected to.
  • Joel Morillo bet three years of his post-Navy life on being a creative, moved coast to coast for it, and talked his way into defining a role called "camera designer."
  • Nick Heindl got offered a job title he'd never heard of, felt insulted by it, and ended up spending years building an accessibility career nobody had asked him for.

These selections from each episode have some great insight into how to take a leap for a role and make it your own — you'll want to hear how differently each of them describes the exact same kind of jump.

The full conversations are available on Dev to Dev’s Patreon.

This week I’m pulling another excellent episode from the Season 01 archive for a Dev to Dev revisit, because it's one I still think about a lot. Zane Draper and I worked together for a couple of years before our project at Zenimax Online Studios was shut down, and this conversation is a good reminder of why he was always so unbothered by whatever got thrown at him.

We get into how a traded set of toy cars turned into a genuine obsession with Pokémon Yellow, how he stumbled sideways out of a robotics degree into game design without ever meaning to, and what five brutal, brilliant years at a tiny studio called Workinman Interactive taught him about never being afraid of a problem.

Highlights:

  • The Game Boy trade that started it all (his friend's Mum was NOT happy)
  • Why an ASCII command-line demo convinced him to ditch robotics for games
  • What it's like sharing a niche with another senior designer on a big team — and the actual doc he and that teammate wrote to keep from stepping on each other's toes
  • Where his "there's always a solution" mindset really comes from (hint: it's his Dad!)

Give it a re-listen (or a first listen, if you missed it) — it's one of those conversations that explains a lot about how someone gets this unbothered about their job.

I hope you enjoy this revisit and remember if you haven’t previously had the chance you can catch the rest of the Season 01 content on Dev to Dev’s Patreon right here: https://www.patreon.com/DevToDevPodcast

I pulled four clips from Season 02 that all circle the same uncomfortable truth: loving this industry doesn't mean it loves you back in equal measure.

What struck me pulling these together is how differently that cost shows up. Sometimes it's your body clocking out before your mind is ready to admit something's wrong. Sometimes it's the strange blankness of a day with nothing built into it anymore. Sometimes it's just holding on long enough for the people around you to catch you when a project falls through. And sometimes it's quieter than any of that — a relationship that couldn't survive the location the job required. None of it looks like the trailer for "Making Video Games or a Living." That's exactly why it felt worth pulling together. 

Highlights:

  • Mark Acero on discovering he'd been having panic attacks without realizing it
  • Scott Nisenfeld on the strange, aimless days after a layoff ends a project you believed in
  • Nathan Kellman on surviving back-to-back cancellations and what got him through
  • Brian Kindregan on the personal cost of chasing the job across the country — and what he's learned since about knowing when to stop climbing

Go give the full episode a listen — hearing these costs in their own words hits different than any summary I could write.

I've known Bill a long time, but this conversation still surprised me. I learned things about his path I never knew — like the fact that he almost became a music teacher, or that he got his ZeniMax job offer literally while his wife was in labor.

Highlights:

  • His origin story starts with a Commodore 64, a Nintendo obsession, and a moment at Disney on Ice that quietly rewired how he saw entertainment
  • Why Bioshock made him walk away from a stable career in radio and TV
  • The producer job he took with zero games experience, just to get his foot in the door
  • The "triangle" mixing principle from a college professor that still shapes his sound design today
  • Losing his job and health insurance at 38 Studios — and getting the ZeniMax offer while his wife was in labor
  • What 13 years on Elder Scrolls Online has taught him about never hitting a ceiling again

Go listen to the full episode — it's one of the most honest conversations about risk, timing, and the people who show up for you that we've had on the show.

Landon and I go back, and getting to sit down with him for Dev to Dev felt like catching up with an old friend as much as recording an episode.

Landon was a franchise producer at Blizzard at the time (he’s now Brand Marketing Manager on Heathstone), but his road there is anything but a straight line — GameStop, a community college art show that changed his life, a run at a scrappy production shop making everything from AR birthday cards to Kevin Bacon narrating a phone app, a hard move to Florida that didn't work out, and eventually ZeniMax Online Studios, where he ended up quietly running three creative teams with no director in sight.

A few of the moments that stuck with me:

  • How a community college teacher basically forced him into the meeting that started his entire career
  • The four weeks it took at his first studio to go from "filling creative gaps" to accidental producer
  • Treating his ADHD and hearing loss as tools instead of limitations
  • The moment a new creative director looked at what he'd built and just said "it's yours"

Landon's one of the most genuinely empathetic people I've had on this show, and it comes through in every story he tells about the teams he's led.

For this week, I kept noticing how many conversations circled back to family — not as a footnote, but as the actual reason a lot of these folks are doing this job at all. So here's a short collection of some of my favorite moments on that theme, look out for more soon!

Highlights:

  • Leyla Lacombe on how her dad's love of tech became her love of games — and how the teaching has since reversed
  • Brandon Van Haren on the brother who started it all, the arcade dad, and the levels he used to draw for his mum
  • Nathan Kellman on parents who said yes to everything, and the moment he finally showed them the Diablo IV credits
  • Luke Shingleton on a grandfather who never quite mastered a controller, and what living away from home in Ireland taught him about family

Give it a listen and let me know whose story hit closest to home for you.

Twenty episodes down, and before season three kicks off I wanted to properly reflect on this one — not just recap it.

Highlights from how the season came together:

  • Leaned hard into talking with people I didn't know well — harder to prep for, even more alive to record
  • A clear pattern emerged: most guests didn't plan their way into games, they backed into it — a factory floor, a VFX career, a mistaken belief that you had to code to belong, etc.
  • Empathy turned out to be the quiet thread through almost every conversation, whether it was about players, teammates, or the person a tool was built for
  • Production got fast — one episode went from record to published in about ninety minutes — though a scheduling hiccup with no backup plan was a real lesson
  • Season 3 starts soon, and I've already got a few episodes banked and ready!

Season 2 will archive behind Patreon once Season 3 begins, so if you want the full run of conversations (audio and video), now's a good time to catch up. Go give it a listen — I think you'll hear the thread too.
