Check out ‘I love Dog’ developed by Chris McLaughlin (@MoonModeGames) in just over two weeks having been inspired by a live Dungeons & Dragons session at this year's Develop:Brighton.
The session took place during the recording of their first ever live podcast, Mike and Rami Are Still Here. Mike Rose had Rami Ismail pitch a fictional game to a real-life audience, during the climax of a 40-minute D&D session.
You can play ‘I Love Dog’ by heading over to itch today and you can listen to Mike and Rami Are Still Here wherever you get your podcasts.

20 Years of Develop: Mike Gamble
"I was on the advisory board for the first Develop Conf in 2006, it was an exciting moment for us as this was the first UK based conf with the ambition of matching the energy and breadth of content found at the US events.

"Since then the conf has become a mirror of the UK/European industry; creative, opinionated, inclusive and above all friendly and perhaps my favourite part of the conf over the years has been setting up the Epic Networking lounge using it to showcase Indie Devs and their amazing creative work."

The D2C game monetization debate in games has been stuck on one number: saving 25-30% on platform fees.
That's the wrong number.
@TebexPlatform's Liam Wiltshire will show at Develop:Brighton what the fastest-growing studios do differently - using real data from 45,000+ gaming stores.
