Dev to Dev is the podcast about everyday Videogame Developers and why they do what they do every day - the animators, engineers, artists, producers, and designers whose work shapes the games we play.
Hosted by Alex Sulman, a veteran of nearly three decades in the industry, the show highlights the passion, challenges, and personal journeys of those often overlooked in gaming’s spotlight.
Inspired by Greg Miller’s 2015 Game Awards speech recognizing a developer in the credits of a game he'd just finished, Dev to Dev continues that spirit of appreciation, giving voice to the people behind the craft.
Each week, the podcast aims to offer thoughtful, positive conversations about connection, creativity, and the human side of game development, providing insight into both the rewards and personal challenges of making video games a livelihood.

S01 E10 of Dev to Dev - the Podcast about everyday Videogame developers and why they do what they do every day - features a candid conversation with Liam McDonald who shares how gaming shaped his identity — from RuneScape escapades in school libraries to exciting projects at both Indie and AAA studios. Liam and I dive deep into the power of curiosity, risk-taking, and the unseen human side of game development.
Highlights
• Discovering community through early online games like RuneScape and Medal of Honor.
• Pivoting from politics to game design through a leap of faith at E3.
• The realities of relocating a family for an exciting role — and navigating the pandemic abroad.
• Insights into balancing creativity, family life, and imposter syndrome.
• Why mentorship and empathy are vital in helping new developers find their footing.
Liam’s story is one of resilience and rediscovery — a reminder that game development isn’t just about mechanics and code, but about people, purpose, and learning who you are along the way. Once again it wonderfully embodies the spirit of this podcast by exploring what it's really like to build a career in Game Development.
