The Brave Room Episode 6 – Crunch = Bad? Featuring Wan Hazmer

Saddle up, it’s time for another episode of The Brave Room, GamerBraves’ own podcast. This week the gang want to talk about Crunch, a particularly hot button topic in the gaming industry.

See, here’s the problem. Wan and Kit haven’t actually made a videogame. Introducing this week’s guest, Wan Hazmer, CEO and Founder of Metronomik, the studio behind the lovely No Straight Roads. He schools the gang on the ins and outs of the industry, and bonds with Kit over Hades, the Gold standard of No-Crunch development.

What is a Crunch? Is it really that bad? What if the cheque clears? The gang embarks on this spiritual journey together, and maybe stops along the way to talk about Guilty Gear ever so briefly. But seriously, the issue’s a lot more nuanced, and we actually get into this especially when overseas phonecalls are involved.

The Brave Room is GamerBraves podcast talking about issues in the Game Industry, with the occasional stop for a laugh. Hosted by “Wan” Amirul and Kit Chew,  It’s available on Anchor, Spotify and YouTube.
