The episode that started it all. We were so impressed with the Thotcon world that we just felt compelled to interview its creator, Chris Wallace.

This episode was recorded back in August of 2020, and was before we had honed the recording process. However, we were able to cull together some of the original slides, and some shaky POV footage for the world tour at the end.

Still, Chris imparts of a lot of knowledge and some of his techniques I still notice in VR games (like hinting at things around corners with lights and shapes).

Hope this crude video helps bring some of his wisdom to other aspiring worldbuilders out there. Enjoy!
