Dev to Dev S03 E07 - Harvard Bonin

October 19, 2026 · 1 hr 17 min

This one was a real pleasure. Harvard and I go back to our Sony Santa Monica days, which involved a lot of late nights and a lot of pizza. Even so, I learned things about him I never knew. The biggest was that underneath decades of…
Dev to Dev S03 E06 - Derin Halil

October 12, 2026 · 1 hr 6 min

This one made me smile. Derin Halil has a habit of asking the question most of us only think: why me? He even asked it out loud, swivelling round in his chair to put it to his head of design. Underneath the laugh is a real story about…
Dev to Dev S03 E05 - Heather Chandler

October 5, 2026 · 1 hr 16 min

Hey folks — this week's conversation is one of the most unique yet. Heather Chandler has been in this industry for three decades, and what struck me most wasn't any single credit on her resume — it's how honest she is about the limits of…
Dev to Dev S03 E04 - Jamie Smith

September 28, 2026 · 1 hr 5 min

Hey everyone, this week I got to sit down with Jamie Smith, and it's a conversation I really enjoyed. We'd never met before we hit record, but within minutes it felt like catching up with someone who'd walked a road very like mine. Jamie…
Dev to Dev S03 E03 - Lana Bachynski

September 21, 2026 · 1 hr 7 min

I love this conversation with Lana Bachynski (Associate Art Director, Riot Games) — because it's not really about animation, even though she's one of the best in the business at it. It's about what happens when you decide to be the person…

Dev to Dev S03 E02 - Jay Powell

September 14, 2026 · 1 hr 6 min

This week's episode is one of my favorites so far, and it's not because Jay Powell has some big design philosophy to unpack — it's because he doesn't. He told me straight up: "I would never claim to be a world-class game designer." What…
Dev to Dev S03 E01 - Steven Dwyer

September 7, 2026 · 1 hr 37 min

Dev to Dev is back and this first episode of Season 03 is a bit special for me — Steven and I go back, and it was great getting to sit down and finally hear the whole story, not just the bits I already knew. What gets me about Steven's…
Dev to Dev S01 Theme - Leap First

August 31, 2026 · 1 hr 4 min

For this week Dev to Dev is exploring another themed episode, this time from Season 01 around the theme of “Leaping First” — it's three people who all did the same reckless, brave thing: they leapt into a role before it was fully formed…
Dev to Dev S01 E13 - Zane Draper (REMASTERED)

August 24, 2026 · 1 hr 0 min

Ahoy folks. This week I’m pulling another excellent episode from the Season 01 archive for a Dev to Dev revisit, because it's one I still think about a lot. Zane Draper and I worked together for a couple of years before our project at…
Dev to Dev S02 Theme - What it Costs

August 18, 2026 · 36 min

Hey everyone — this one's personal. I pulled four clips from Season 02 that all circle the same uncomfortable truth: loving this industry doesn't mean it loves you back in equal measure. What struck me pulling these together is how…
Dev to Dev S01 E15 - Bill Mueller (REMASTERED)

August 9, 2026 · 1 hr 1 min

Here’s another excellent episode from the Season 01 archives of Dev to Dev. I've known Bill a long time, but this conversation still surprised me. I learned things about his path I never knew — like the fact that he almost became a music…
Dev to Dev S01 E11 - Landon Hood (REMASTERED)

August 2, 2026 · 1 hr 2 min

For this revisit of a Dev to Dev episode from S01, I’m going back to the wonderful discussion I had with Landon Hood. Landon and I go back, and getting to sit down with him for Dev to Dev felt like catching up with an old friend as much…

About the show

Dev to Dev is the podcast about everyday Videogame Developers and why they do what they do every day - the many folks 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.
