🕑 Added 2025-06-21 08:50:55 +0000 UTCDEREK LIEU crafted game trailers for Half Life: Alyx, Psychonauts 2, Subnautica, Firewatch, Noita, and about Three Hundred Million Other ones.
Now we got him in the studio, and we can ask him about whatever we want.
Except for that one thing.

Hello night owls, NEW super long episode, we are so back. As in, back on schedule.
(i gotta fix the audio on a context intercut I had to add, and gotta record patron names for the public version releasing tomorrow, but i wanna get this to y'all quicker than that, so shh)
This one was a blast to record, I was surprised by how much Derek opened up about.
I hope y'all enjoy the conversation as much as we did, and I'm excited to see what folks think.
Thank you again for supporting the show, and tomorrow we are BACK ON SCHEDULE.
If you're interested in trailer editing:
You can check out all of Derek's stuff here, he's a fantastic educator with a million free blog posts, GDC talks, and youtube videos for all skill levels. On top of a more structured paid course. It's rad.

*will come up with a better title. it's late at night. my other idea was "making game trailers and legal pipe bombs with derek lieu", which i don't think he would have wanted

not awfully relevant to anything said here but is there any chance of you and sam doing a thing for 28 days later since the sequal is out now in theater? there is a lot of bts for 28 days later that i think would tickle sams film interest pickle. also i just watched it for the first time and it had me flipping out. it was shot in 480p on digital which for 2002 is strange and cool.
