Text Adventure Podcast Episode 002: Blood, Sweat, and Pixels by Jason Schreier

In Episode 002 of the Text Adventure Podcast from The Text Adventure Book Club, we dive into Blood, Sweat, and Pixels by Jason Schreier, a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how video games actually get made.

We discuss what the book taught us about the realities of game development, crunch culture, and creative risk, share a few of our own experiences with bad bosses, and break down what we saw at The Game Awards 2025 that genuinely caught our attention.

If you love books about games, the stories behind the screens, and thoughtful conversations about the art and business of making games, this episode is for you.
