This time I'm joined by two brothers, Nic and Chris who 10 years ago formed a studio Brotherhood Games , and since developed Stasis, Cayne, Beautiful Desolation and most recently Stasis: Bone Totem! They walk me through their career, and lessons learned after so many years in the industry (the average for this industry is below 10yrs :D ) and then we discuss in detail their latest masterpiece Stasis: Bone Totem.
