On this week's episode, former creative director at Bungie, a co-creator of the Halo franchise, and the president and creative director for V1 Interactive, Marcus Lehto, joins host Josiah Renaudin to talk about AAA development. Marcus details his time at Bungie, the evolution of Halo throughout the years, early Destiny dev stories, what he's learned about development crunch (and how to improve working conditions), the problems with modern microtransactions, and what he's currently working on at V1 Interactive.

I haven't listened to it yet, but I'm sure it's interesting. The 1099 is a pretty great podcast about the industry, featuring interviews with developers and journalists. It's always a fun listen for me, and I'm definitely looking forward to listening to it tomorrow.
