Welcome to the latest episode of the Insider Gaming Developer Spotlight, a series where we sit down with developers to talk about game creation, struggles, milestones, and give insight into what it takes to take a game from concept to completion. In this interview, Executive Editor Mike Straw sits down with 34BigThings founder and Carmageddon: Rogue Shift director Giuseppe Franchi.
Over the course of the 40-minute talk, Mike and Giuseppe talk about the opportunity to create a new Carmageddon game, changing the series formula, working with a large publisher as opposed to being independent, and a lot more.
