Bonus Episode: Hypnospace Outlaw with Jay Tholen

Hypnospace Outlaw is a hit indie game which features an internet and operating system simulator set in a surreal, alternate version of 1999. The game is entirely unique both in its design and aesthetic, and it has an impressive development history.

Jay Tholen is the developer of Hypnospace Outlaw and he joins the show to talk about the engineering of the game, the creation of an entire “fake internet”, and he gives an update on his next game, Dreamsettler.

Joe Nash is a developer, educator, and award-winning community builder, who has worked at companies including GitHub, Twilio, Unity, and PayPal. Joe got his start in software development by creating mods and running servers for Garry’s Mod, and game development remains his favorite way to experience and explore new technologies and concepts.
