6 - Luke Hale: Frontier Developments, the Truth About "Solo" Indies, and the Cost of Gaming

from Horace Goes Podcasting: For Gamers with Pong Memories · host Kieron Brear and Jonny McNamara

In this episode, we talk with Luke Hale, Head of Production Services at Frontier Developments. Luke is not retired, or even thinking about retirement, because he's in his early thirties. We're expanding our exploration of gaming experience to people of many ages now, at Horace Goes Podcasting. With Luke, we talked about Football Manager, John's grudge against Frontier for nerfing his trade route in Elite:Dangerous, city builders, 'solo' developed games like Manor Lords and the most significant challenge Luke sees to video games (spoiler - it might be you!). Also, hear how Luke is helping out universities develop better game development degrees and how he mentors students.Start a conversation about the episode in the comments on Spotify, on our Facebook page or on our Insta.
