Young Horses is a group of students forged into a team at Chicago's DePaul University, and graduated into a company through the monster success of Octodad. This is the story of what happens next.

Feb 7, 2017

10 minutes

William Chyr is a physicist, game developer, balloon artists and juggler, and the creator of "Manifold Garden." William describes it as a physics-based puzzle game about architecture and the first 100 years of physics. "As if M.C. Escher made a video game."

3. S01E03 - Indie City

Feb 8, 2017

15 minutes

From Chicago's DePaul university, to the now-forgotten Chicago triple-A studios, the city once held a lot of promise for would-be game developers. This is the story of that promise reborn.

4. S01E04 - We Are Chicago

Feb 7, 2017

Chicago's South Side is a place where few children grow up to be game developers. Writer Tony Thornton raised a family there, and teamed up with Culture Shock Games to tell a story about what living there is really like.

5. S01E05 - Idiots Doing a Dumb Thing

Feb 7, 2017

10 minutes

Bit Bash is Chicago's homegrown indie game festival, started by a group of friends who had no idea what they were doing until they did it. Run by Chicagoans, for Chicagoans, it's a game festival done "the Chicago Way": a little goofy, a little rough around the edges, and imminently practical.
