This week, an interview with Dom, the founder of VideoDojo.

VideoDojo, founded in 2011, is a multi faceted YouTube channel that became the rallying point for a creative community that took an almost forgotten game and elevated it beyond what was ever expected of it. In this episode, in honour of the 4th anniversary of the game and VideoDojo's efforts to mark it with a large scale game jam and the first ever GBG Direct, I talk to Dom about the history of the channel, the community, his reflections on Game Builder Garage and the place it holds in the lineage of creative game making tools, as well as looking to the future.

“There is something in the nature of tea that leads us into a world of quiet contemplation of life.”

White knuckles, clenched teeth, a brow drenched in sweat. This week, my favourite game of 2024.
