The Man Who Gets Game Devs To Candidly Speak | Sacred Symbols+, Episode 530

It's me, Colin. Please welcome Reece "Kiwi Talkz" Reilly to Sacred Symbols+. In recent years, Reece has quietly and steadily nurtured an exceptional catalog of interviews on his YouTube channel, talks he conducts with gaming industry denizens around the world. In a space severely bereft of primary sources, he puts himself out there, does the legwork to reach out to enormous numbers of current and ex-developers, and allows them to tell their stories. Indeed, we've sourced his interviews on Sacred Symbols itself on more than a few occasions. In short: I really wanted to understand more about his process and approach. After all, it's not easy to get inherently guarded people working in an innately secretive space to say interesting things. And yet, Reece does so on a regular basis. Thus, it's time for us to briefly study the work of one man, who in turn allows us to learn about the work of so many others.

This was a great episode and I hope we get him back for another one. How he broke into the industry is extremely fascinating. I never understood the hate that I saw online for him (reddit, of course) and I am glad that it was brought up during the episode. Funny enough, called out my buddy about kiwi a few months ago for parroting Reddit comments and hating on him. My buddy didn’t even know that he interviewed a TON of devs and thought he was strictly a leaker. Figures, lol.
