Richard Bartle - Part 1 - MUD (Multi User Dungeon)
samedi 2 août 2025 • Durée 02:12:51

He cocreated MUD1, the first Multi User Dungeon game as a college student and has gone on to help shape the academic view of gaming ever since.

Few developers have had as long and prolific a career as our guest, Graeme Bayless. From working on mainframes, to selling Kaypros, to playtesting Accolade's launch titles, to producing games for SSI, Sega Technical Institute, Hyperbole Studios, Dynamix, EA, Eidos, and NetherRealm Studios.
In Part 5, we talk about Graeme's winding up of Fierce Wombat, looking for a new position and being offered a position at NetherRealm Studios, where he worked on Injustice 2, Mortal Kombat 11 and Mortal Kombat 1. We discuss life in a studio with the most senior staff in the business, gamer-first design philosophy and what it means to move from one game engine to the next in the modern console environment. Graeme gives us amazing insights into the life of a game dev like few others can or would.
