The Modcast Ep.3. Interview with "Harvest" Author, Heyo

Hello folks. Well, it's been a little longer than I hoped but the new episode of our student game-design / modding podcast is now available. The topic of discussion revolves around iterative design and level design.

You can find the episode here (direct download or iTunes link available, take your pick ).

TF2 makes a big splash this episode in celebration of its 2 year anniversary, and I got the chance to interview with Sean "Heyo" Cutino about his newly made-official map KOTH Harvest. (This whole TF2 binge segment comes in around 37min., btw)

Hope people enjoy the episode -- a bit shorter than past ones, but the quality has received more attention as a result. I'm still interested in giving communities like these another voice, so if anybody is interested in doing something similar to what Heyo has in the future, feel free to send me a PM.

Happy modding,
Radenska

That's odd, I just tested it and it was loading fine - downloaded all the way on iTunes as well. My provider has unlimited bandwidth, so there shouldn't be an issue, ideally.

Try again in a few minutes perhaps. Sorry it is doing that though, I'll look into it further.

If anyone else experiences something similar, please let me know. Thanks.

is there a non-itunes mirror? i've tried multiple times, no further than 9MB did i get!

There's also the .MP3 link you can simply download or stream, right above the iTunes link at the blog post, if iTunes proves buggy for others. Though if neither work, it may be a browser/internet connectivity related issue.

Again, I wish I knew why that happened. I've had podcasts that downloaded but would stop at fixed points for no reason, but never refused to fully download...rather crazy

I much appreciate the back-up support there, S.W.A.T.Y! Thanks for the additional upload.
