Today we unveil a brand new community series we’re doing here at Firefly Studios, Video Game Developers React! Using the studio’s wealth of experience and insights behind the video game industry, we aim to educate (and hopefully entertain) video game enthusiasts who want to learn more about design, programming, art and music.

For our debut episode, we bring in industry veteran Simon Bradbury to examine some classic Strategy and RTS games, some of his own creation and others by studios in the same genre. Watch as Simon muses on how they were made, played and what impact they may have had on him and fellow developers at the time.
